I had the same problem. The only way to resolve this issue reliably and consistently in my opinion.. is to call the customer support!!
They will help you! I had to call them 3 times but my issue got resolved in the end!
Good luck! 🙂

I had this same issue. I SOLVED IT today (10-9-22) by linking my bank account using the PayPal app! Trying to link via PayPal website does not work & you end up with the spinning wheel. Good luck to everybody!

Hi @Jonathan_1233

 

Welcome to the PayPal Community Forum! 

 

I am sorry to hear you are having issues adding a bank account to your PayPal account. 

 

I would ask that you please ensure you do not have any outstanding account limitations. You can view any limitations on your Resolution Center when you select 'Go To Account Limitations'. Any limitations may need to be resolved before you can add a new bank account. 

 

It is important to ensure this bank account has your own name registered to it. More information can be found here: Why can't I add my bank? (paypal.com)

 

This could also be a security block. I would suggest waiting for 72 hours before trying to add your bank again. After 72 hours, please try and add your bank via the PayPal website rather than the app. Please also avoid using any VPNs. 

 

If this does not work, I would suggest reaching out to our customer service team directly. To contact our Customer Service team, click 'Help' or 'Contact' at the bottom of any PayPal Webpage. 

 

You can also contact us via Facebook PM or Twitter DM's.

I hope this helps, have a nice day!

When i try to link my bank this shows up

"This account needs a little help to link it. <a href="/selfhelp/home" target="_blank">Contact us</a> and we can help with that, or you can link a different account."
