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

Here's how to confirm your bank account:

1. Go to your Wallet.
2. Click the bank account you want to confirm.
3. Click Confirm.

We'll deposit €0.01 in your bank account. You'll find a 4-digit code next to the €0.01 deposit on your statement in up to 3 days. To find the code, check your online bank statement or contact your bank.

Here's how to confirm a bank account you’ve linked to your PayPal account when you know the 4-digit code:

1. Click Wallet at the top of the page.
2. Click Unconfirmed next to the bank account you want to confirm.
3. Enter the 4-digit code and click Confirm. (You have 3 attempts).

• When adding a bank account to your PayPal account, you first need to accept a Direct Debit Mandate before using it to make payments.
• If a future payment fails from your bank account, you may need to accept the Direct Debit Mandate again. If this is the case, you’ll see a prompt to ‘Complete setup’ next to the bank account in your Wallet.
• You can only use a bank account denominated in EUR. If the currency of your bank account is different than EUR, you won’t be able to complete the bank confirmation process.
