Feedback: Bank account verification instructions

[mmcohen]

During the account linking process, PayPal asks to send 2 small deposits of a random number to verify you have access to the bank account you're trying to link. After you enter your banking information, it should be directly mentioned to the user that the deposits may take up to business 3 days to be sent

All you have to do is ask or check in the HELP section.

@kernowlass I understand that this information is available on the help page, but I think for the sake of clarity during the process it should also be included in the main instructions. Hence why the first word of the title is "Feedback"

I don't think paypal would know how long it takes your bank to process your deposits to your bank account, that is why they normally to 'allow' up to 3 business days.

That also would vary according to your country, some countries its instant and in others it takes up to 5 business days dependent on the bank / country involved.
