How long does it take to add money from my bank account to my PayPal account?

There are two ways you can add money from your bank account to your PayPal account.

With Instant Top-Up, you can add money to your PayPal account within 5 minutes.

With the Add Money option, you can add money to your PayPal account within 2 business days.

Here’s how to see when the money will be in your account:

  1. Go to your Activity.
  2. Click the transfer in question.

Did you know that you don't have to add money to your PayPal account to buy something or send money? Simply add your card to your PayPal account and choose it at the checkout.
