How can I send money or make a payment with my mobile phone?

To download the mobile app:

  1. Go to www.paypal.com/mobile.
  2. Tap Get the PayPal App.
  3. Select the phone you have and tap Download.

To send money on the app:

  1. Tap imagePayments.
  2. Enter the recipient's information: Name, @username, email, or mobile.
  3. Enter the amount, choose the currency, add an (optional) note, and tap Next.
  4. Select your payment method, review your information, and tap Send.


You can select a preferred payment method for payments made through the regular checkout process, as well as Goods and Services via Send Money. You also have the option to select a different preferred method for online purchases vs. in-store purchases.

You can set your preferred payment method on our website or in the PayPal app.

Once you send money, you won’t be able to cancel or reverse the transaction. Please check the details of this transaction carefully.
