The error message seems to indicate it only accepts Greek banks.
Have you tried adding it at https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/wallet/add/bank?
Yes with no luck.My account is business maybe this is the problem?
Your Paypal account? Did you contact Paypalās support?
Revolut doesnāt have personal IBANS so you canāt add one to paypal
First error will show you that the IBANS is assigned to a UK bank(in my case was germany)
When you try to add a UK bank it will tell you that the account is already assigned to another paypal address soā¦you just have to wait a few more months until they add personal IBANs
They do have personal IBANs. Also Paypal generally does not distinguish between country IBANs, so I am not sure what you mean by āadding a UK bankā.
They do not since my IBAN is already attached to another PayPal owner or at least they donāt have it rolled out for everyone if thatās the caseā¦
As for not being able to distinguish between country thatās not true since Iāve tried to add āmy IBAN āto a Romanian account but when Iāve switched to Germany it worked,kindaā¦it tells me itās in use by another person
Iād clarify that with Paypal and Revolut. The local account should all be personalised.
I did not say they cant, I said they dont. There is no option to select a country before you add the bank details.
as you can see they say so in their app
there isā¦also in the phone app
We are talking about EUR accounts.
Maybe in their mobile application, not on the website.
FWIW I received the verification code today and was able to verify my Revolut Account in German PayPal account
From your screenshot above, the conclusion is PayPal.gr accepts only Greek banks. May have to do with some capital controls. PayPal policy varies from country to country.
Guys, hereās an update: You can add your GB IBAN into PayPal if you use the mobile app. Mobile app gives the option to choose the country of the account.
Iām sure this option will soon be available to desktop too, meanwhile, just add it from mobile PayPal.
Cheers!

Hi there,
Iām in the UK and have a UK Revolut account. Over a week ago I successfully connected it to PayPal. Today, I received this message:
Hi there, I recently added my Revolut to my bank account and it was successful. A week later, I received this message:
āYour bank has let us know that you canāt use your bank account ending in XXXX to fund PayPal payments. If you already have a card linked to your PayPal account, weāll use it to fund your future payments.
āHow to make future payments with PayPalā
If you donāt already have another bank or card linked to your PayPal account, you need to add one to fund your future payments. To link a card or bank, log in to your PayPal accountā
What is the issue? Why can I not use this with PayPal if it allowed me to connect in the first place? I want to use it to withdraw money from PayPal.
Thank you!
the UK account revolut provides doesnāt allow direct debits unfortunately, so it canāt be used to pay for services directlyā¦ including paypal. only through the cards.
PayPal doesnāt know it doesnāt support direct debits until it asks the provider to set one up and itās told it canāt.
you will need a real bank account, my personal recommendations are starling and monzo
I am getting crazy with all the PayPal hassle. Some people can others canāt use the service. That is lacking transparency.
I am using Revolut with PayPal and frequently send money to my UK IBAN.
Now I wanted to use a virtual Visa and it wasnāt accepted. It needs to be a physical card. I got an answer why that is:
UK Revolut accounts donāt support direct debit! You canāt use it to fund Paypal, only to cash out. For funding, link the Revolut card!
I donāt think paypal allows bank accounts without a direct debit set up
