Well, they have no way to find out until they try to withdraw funds.
Initial authorization works like this: the pay you a cent or something. And this will work.
I believe there are a couple of posts in this forum where users from UK and other countries were able to successfully link their Revolut accounts for paying out funds from Paypal.
The direct debit set up is the final part of adding an account to PayPal. When you get to the part where you need to authorize a direct debit just close the browser tab. The account will still be on PayPal, it’ll just show a yellow warning about completing setup. Just ignore that and you can use it for withdrawals
With reference to an4rei’s post of Nov 18.
I have a UK based PayPal account and Revolut Card.
When I try to add a bank account on my PayPal mobile app, I get the message “Add your bank account on our website” with an option to Go To the Website.
If I add a bank account from the PayPal Website, it only lets me enter the Sort Code and the 8 digit Account No of the bank account. There is NO option to enter IBAN or BIC codes.
Conclusion - I cannot fund my PayPal account from my Revolut Card OR withdraw funds from PayPal into my Revolut Card.
Is there anyone who can help ?
Thx
I am UK based, and have a UK PayPal account. With it I can:
Pay for goods and services using PayPal via my (virtual) Revolut card
Fund my PayPal account from Revolut via a bank transfer
Cash out from PayPal to Revolut via a bank transfer
I cannot:
Pay for goods and services via PayPal using Revolut bank account (this prevents using the Pay After Delivery option). This is because Revolut do not support UK direct debits.
Pay PayPal Credit automatically using Revolut bank account. Again, this is because Revolut do not support UK direct debits. However you can do a bank transfer from Revolut to your PayPal balance, then pay PayPal Credit using your PayPal balance as the funding source.
A few tips:
You can add your Revolut card and/or Revolut virtual card to your PayPal wallet.
When you add your Revolut bank account to your PayPal wallet do not attempt to complete the setting up of your Revolut bank account. Just leave it.
Set up a new payee in your Revolut bank account quoting the sort code and account number, plus your unique reference number provided by PayPal to enable you to fund your PayPal balance directly from Revolut via bank transfer.
PayPal might behave differently in other countries, but certainly it works in the UK for most things.
Hi, I have a problem with PayPal too. My Revolut account is in EUR and when I complete a purchase online I am charged in GDP by Paypal, therefore I pay more than I should… does anyone have a solution for this? PayPal keeps telling me to contact the card issuer and Revolut keeps telling me to contact PayPal… this is so annoying
At the checkout there is an option how the conversion is performed (with default being paypal).
I have seen it recently and thought that it was better visible than in the past.
I linked my Revolut IBAN with my PayPal account and now I have questions about withdraws.
So, I have two currencies in PayPal (Euro and USD) and so in Revolut.
Questions! If I withdraw money in USD currency from PayPal to Revolut, how I will receive it in Revolut? Does it go straight to the account as USD? There won’t be a double currency exchange USD to Euro to USD (and money loss)?
