How do I set up Direct Deposit with my PayPal Debit Card?

There are 2 simple ways to set up Direct Deposit with your PayPal Debit Card:

  • Give the pre-printed form that comes with your PayPal Debit Card to your Payer (your employer, government agency, or payroll provider) or
  • Go to your Profile to set up Direct Deposit. Customers who have a PayPal Debit Card are automatically eligible for Direct Deposit and already have their own routing and account number.

To set up Direct Deposit:

  1. Click the Settings icon.
  2. Click View your Direct Deposit info.
  3. Click Find your employer.
  4. Search for who pays you (your employer, government agency, or payroll provider). If you can’t find who pays you, copy your Direct Deposit numbers and give them to your Payer.
  5. Follow the instructions to confirm your identity and enter your Direct Deposit information.

Tips:

  • Direct Deposit is only available for PayPal Balance accounts. It’s not currently available for Business accounts.
  • Your Payer must be located in the US. The transaction will fail if it originates outside of the US.
  • Your Payer may also ask you to fill out their own direct deposit form.

As a customer, when you are approved for a PayPal Debit Mastercard®, you will also be automatically provisioned with Direct Deposit account and routing numbers to help you easily fund your PayPal Balance.

The PayPal 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.

PayPal is a financial technology company, not a bank. The Card is linked to your PayPal Balance account. See PayPal Balance Terms and Conditions.
