Can't add bank
 

Hi both of my PayPal this morning won't let me add my bank account? I have always used greendot bank. Is there now an issue or should I wait a day and try again?

Re: Can't add bank
 

Hi,
Can't add greendot for month. Can you add greendot recently? Maybe they blocked greendot.

Re: Can't add bank
 

I think they blocked it. This was just today I tried and it won't let me. Darn that was the easiest way idk what to do now for bank. Alot of online ones don't let me get account.
Have you found one to work yet?

Re: Can't add bank
 

NOT YET.
Just FYI, I can not even add BANK OF AMERICA account to limited paypal, even through that it said I CAN ADD A BANK ACCOUNT in the limitation page. I don't know why.

Re: Can't add bank
 

Oh no. Mine isn't limited yet. I may have posted in wrong thread

Re: Can't add bank
 

Have you sent in your previous bank account doc's? I got limited for unusual bank behavior and they requested paperwork. I sent and no reply yet... But I have option to add a bank but it won't go through either.. I haven't even gotten a "limitation email as well".

Re: Can't add bank
 

No I haven't been asked to send in bank docs

Re: Can't add bank
 

Tried wellsfargo, boa accounts on my multiple limited paypal accounts and they do not work. Just telling me try again later.....

Their getting hard to add bank account this stinks

Re: Can't add bank
 

Have you tried to call in to request add bank? They actually let you type in your routing/acc
But if that fails they forward you to a representative...which lets face it... Don't want to do XD

Re: Can't add bank
 

because they're stealth accounts and I don't want to phone them....

Re: Can't add bank
 

calling them isn't a big deal...

Re: Can't add bank
 

correct just call them if they say no then hang up
not a big deal is it

Re: Can't add bank
 

What is the specific error you are getting?

Is it giving you an internal service error or is it something else?

Re: Can't add bank
 

"We have notice suspicious activity with your bank account" limitation. No 180day limitation email or ANY email regarding the error issue..

Re: Can't add bank
 

Mine says they can't add the bank account at this time and try later.

Re: Can't add bank
 

So that's the error that pops up? Or the limitation notice you have when you login

Re: Can't add bank
 

That's what it says after I try to add my bank account.

Re: Can't add bank
 

Yes, mine the same,
can't add the bank account at this time and try later.

Re: Can't add bank
 

There are so many banks out there for you to use. Just go into any of hundreds of banks and open several accounts with each.
I dont understand the insistence on using online ones which are mostly blacklisted.

Re: Can't add bank
 

That is true, especially since nowadays you can even open bank accounts online (or via the phone) without having to visit a branch if you really wanted to.

You get that error message usually due to a bank being blacklisted by Paypal. Capital One 360, Ally bank, Greendot bank, etc do not work. A lot of (though not all) online-only banks do not work. You can choose any of the major banks, or even smaller credit unions and you'll be a lot better off.

Unless you have something negative on your Chex report, there's no reason to go with a "lesser" bank. And even then, there are still better options than the banks mentioned above.
