How do I confirm my bank account with PayPal?

For security purposes, we may ask you to confirm that you’re the owner of the bank account linked to your PayPal account.

To confirm your bank account, we'll deposit 2 small amounts (each between $0.01 and $0.99 USD) into the bank account you want to confirm. These amounts will show on your bank statement within 3 business days. You can review your online bank statement, wait for your next paper statement, or contact your bank to find out the exact amounts of these deposits. With this information, you can complete the confirmation process online.

Here's how to confirm your bank account:

  1. Go to your Wallet.
  2. Click the bank account you want to confirm.
  3. Enter the exact amounts of the 2 deposits made to your bank account.
  4. Click Submit.

The random deposits are temporary and will eventually be debited from your bank account. If you don't see them in your bank statement, go back to your PayPal account and repeat the steps so that we will resend you the random deposits.
