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

Adding money from your bank account to your PayPal Balance typically takes a few minutes, but please allow up to 3 working days depending on your bank. 

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 bank account or card to your PayPal account and choose it at the checkout.
