I have a business account with PayPal, my company is registered in Hungary and moved to France for a few years for a project. Now PayPal does not allow me to have a phone number abroad, I have a local French number now, I should certainly not be forced to keep my expensive mobile plan in Hungary just for PayPal. And no law has ever forced people to freeze their company activities just because they are traveling or living abroad. And to get the 'create a new account per country' notion out of the way: When you create a business account on PayPal, it wants your company's legal address (where it is registered) and you cannot choose a phone number from another country to it. Once I put the Hungarian address there, it will not accept a French number any more. Therefore, For business payments, I cannot just create a 'fake' French PayPal account in each country. All I want is to log in to my company's business account to verify my Hungarian company's received business payments and to withdraw money to my assigned Hungarian company bank account. All these operations are restricted to Hungary and are legal. Why would I have to fly back to Hungary just to log in to my business account or withdraw money from it to my already accepted bank account? This is obviously a mistake by PayPal software architectures. My only solution currently is that luckily on my mobile I am still signed in and there I have touch ID set so at least I have access to it on my mobile. For those entrepreneurs who had not signed in on mobile beforehand though, this will interfere with conducting their business.
