TransferWise Borderless Account

[harry_b23]

I came across TransferWise Borderless Account today and signed up right away. I uploaded the required documents and the account was verified within a few hours. My intention was to withdraw USD funds in my PayPal account to my TransferWise Borderless (USD) Account, but apparently it's not possible :(

Here's the response I got from TransferWise support:

"Currently it is not possible to receive PayPal USD payments to the Borderless USD account due to their verification method.
In order to verify account PayPal sends micro deposits to your borderless account and then tries to pull the micro deposits back, unfortunately this is not possible with TransferWise borderless account, so they cannot verify the account fully.

We do have information of success of transfers of EUR from PayPal to Borderless accounts, but with USD unfortunately not.

You could receive USD to your borderless account directly though."

If anyone knows of any workaround or has a different experience, please do share.

Thanks.
