• How can I add my bunq account to PayPal?

@LeonElPanda#44787 bunq has a full European Banking License. I don't understand how they dare to say such strange things such as prepaid bank, they are not just some payment provider without a banking license. I gotta say PayPal just keeps getting more stupid and arrogant every day.😝

    @Tim#44789

    I just replied, and play the whole IBAN discrimination card. If not, I'll contact BaFIN in Germany.

      @LeonElPanda#44790

      Maybe you could try the next thing, go back in the app, tap your profile picture and then Edit in the right top. You will see "Legal name". Change this to your full first name + surname instead of first letter + surname. This is a new feature for users outside The Netherlands where that is the standard.

      Now export a statement from the IBAN you would like to use, it will now show your full name and should suffice for verification in your current correspondence with PayPal. Maybe mention bunq is a full EU bank too and not just some payment service. 🙂

      Also when adding the bunq IBAN from the website did you change the country to NL, otherwise it won't accept the IBAN due to a different format?

        Paypal is talking 🐂💩. I had no problem adding bunq to my Paypal.

          Just tried adding it again. It failed for too many attempts in the past 🙄🙄🙄🙄

            It took me ages to delete my ABN account from paypal.

              @LeonElPanda#44793 Have you tried to add the MasterCard to PayPal?
              I have a German Paypal Account and had no problems adding my bunq Mastercard as funding source and also have my IBAN Account activated for direct debits. But the difference could be, my Paypal Account was already verified through another bank, when adding the bunq IBAN.
              So, Paypal should also work in principle with bunq...

                I had no problem to add my bunq-account to PayPal. 🤷🏻‍♂️

                ✅IBAN accepted
                ✅received the PayPal-deposit
                ✅Confirmation done

                  Also added my bunq account in the past, without any problems.

                  I just added an other bunq account to check if it's still working, let's find out 🙂

                    @Bastiaan#44801 @Leon
                    Today, 2 days later, i've received the two check amounts on my bunq-account.
                    With this two amounts i've confirmed my bunq account on PayPal.

                      @Bastiaan#45135 Me too, I also tested it again. The verification amounts arrived today.

                        I had no issues connecting my paypal to my bunq account. Yes, the confirmation deposits took a while to arrive.

                          I remember that I had issues in the past connecting my account to paypal. I solved it by using the paypal app. For some reason that worked for me

                            I've not used the app, just the website

                              @Bastiaan#45135 Me too. Tested with a second bunq-account. Worked fine 👍

                                I managed to verify my account today.
                                I wonder if it has anything to do with the BaFIN thing.

                                  a month later

                                  I can’t see my code on the deposits PayPal made. The displayed text is incomplete

                                    @Omaira-Juliana-Torres#52331 you must enter the two received amounts on the PayPal verification page, there are no codes involved 🙂

                                      @Bastiaan#52336 ??.... I'm very confused.. I get a 5 digit only option on PayPal.. the amounts have 3 digits each... 🤔

                                        @jordan-julian-chase#52391 Hmm.. strange. I don't know that method 🤨
