What payment methods can I use with PayPal?

With PayPal, you can use the following payment methods:

  • Your bank account
  • Your Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express card
  • If you've confirmed your identity with us, you can also use your balance.

Here's how to change your preferred payment method:

  1. Click Wallet.
  2. Click the preferred payment method.
  3. Click Set as preferred.

Please note that you need to add a card or link a bank to your PayPal account before you can select it as a preferred way to pay.

Changing your preferred payment method won’t affect automatic payments. You can update your payment preference directly on the automatic payment.
