How do I add money to PayPal for my PayPal Business Debit Mastercard® purchases?

When you make a purchase with your PayPal Business Debit Mastercard®, we'll use any available money you have in your balance. Here's what you need to do to add money to your balance:   

Receive money   

When someone sends you money through PayPal or a customer makes a payment to you, it can be used for your PayPal Business Debit Mastercard® purchases.   

Add money from your bank account on the web  

Go to your Money page and select Add Money. The standard transfer usually takes 3-5 business days for a transfer to complete, and it can be done at any time and at no cost. We’ll email you when the transfer completes.   

Add money on the PayPal app (not the PayPal Business app)  

Click “Add money” on the Home or Finance tab and then follow the instructions to either add money from your bank account, at a store with cash or cash a check.  

Add money at participating stores   

You can add money at any Green Dot retailer (including Walmart, CVS, 7-Eleven, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and many others). Take your cash to the register and let the clerk know you want to add cash to PayPal. A fee of up to $3.95 applies. They will ask you to swipe your PayPal Business Debit Mastercard. Then hand the cash (between $20 and $500) to the clerk. Your money will be added within minutes, and you’ll receive an email confirmation.   

If you’re unable to add money, your PayPal account may be limited, or you may need to verify your identity. Please contact PayPal customer service to resolve these issues.

The PayPal Business Debit Mastercard® is issued by The Bancorp Bank, N.A. (“Bancorp”) pursuant to a license by Mastercard International Incorporated and may be used everywhere Mastercard is accepted. Mastercard and the circles design are registered trademarks of Mastercard International Incorporated. Bancorp is issuer of the Card only and not responsible for the associated accounts or other products, services, or offers from PayPal.
