Can't add banks outside my country

Hello,

I can't seem to link bank accounts outside the country my paypal was set up in. It's set up in Canada, and I had initially linked my Canadian bank account. Now I want to link an account in the US and another account in Georgia (the country) but it won't seem to let me. Only Canadian banks appear in the dropdown menu, and -- contrary to what I saw on a Paypal help page -- there is no option to add other banks.

Paypal is country specific so if you move countries you have to open another paypal account in the country you reside in and add an address / phone number / bank accounts / cards from within that country.

You should really withdraw any funds / resolve issues / remove cards and bank accounts / cancel any subscriptions and close the old Paypal account before you move countries. If you don't then you may have problems doing so once you have moved and may need to contact customer services for help to resolve things.

You can however add a U.S bank account (not card) to 'most' other countries paypal accounts. This is because paypal is a U.S company and so allows this.
