The best way to get the correct information is to just visit your branch, and talk to a teller about all of the necessary information you need and have them write it out for you.   The TD CANADA TRUST are very familiar with Pay Pal and know exactly what is needed, guessing what you should put where can only cause undo delay.   As for the number of digits that are required for each category branch, transit, account the number that Pay Pal says is the MAXIMUM number you are able to put in, if yours has less then the MAXIMUM required, and as long as it is what the bank has provided to you, input those provided numbers and you will not have any problems whatsoever.   But remember to be sure to have the correct information, visit your branch and ask for it. Better safe then delayed by a guess. ... View more

Hello; @destiny2104 wrote: I want to link my bank account, to paypal but it is saying that the transit number or the institution number is incorrect....why is that?? the bank account is in my name and my husbands, he called the bank and got all the info and paypal is saying that it is wrong..Now what do I do..I don't have a credit card..That's why I wanted paypal so that I could get things online.  Is there anything I can do??  If I make money online how would I get it out??  The bank is TD Canada Trust if that helps...     The best thing you can do is delete the banking information from your account and start from scratch again.   I am a Canadian also and also deal with TD CANADA Trust, when you input your information again, be sure you go to the bank first and ask to talk to someone who has knowledge on PayPal information and make sure when you input the information they give you that you do not put in any spaces bewteen the numbers  so if the info you get says this:   Institution Number: 934   Transit Number: 011   Account Number: 4029 293 2015   You will input that into PayPal like this:   Institution Number: 934   Transit Number: 011   Account Number: 40292932915   It worked for me and it should work for you.  If it doesn't, give them a call and askk the agent to input the information for you all you have to do is read it to them. And zeros at the beginning of any sequence do count as a number do not omit them.   Hope this helps. ... View more

I realize the frustration felt when you do a money transfer on a holiday.   When tansactions are done on holidays you not only have to take in to account your own banks days of business but you also have to take into account PayPal's days of business when it comes to holidays.   I know it is a little late and that you all have probably receieved your funds by now, but for the future if you are thinking abut doing a transfer on a holiday, wait until the holiday is over and both your bamk and PayPal are open for business.   This avoids any unnecessary delays in the funds reaching your account.   Also keep in mind that PayPal busines days run Monday to Friday only   Saturdays and Sundays are not business days and any transfers made on these days cannot be counted and will not be considered by PayPal until the next business day.   I have been using them for 5 years for both personal and business purposes, and I swear by them for all my online transactions everywhere. They cannot be beat for security & peace of mind. ... View more
