Can PayPal See Your Banking Credentials?

[Justin Ghost]

I connected my Chase account to my BOA account yesterday and they were able to see my name and address for my business even though the bank account are set up under an LLC and business name.

This kinda freaked me out...

Is PayPal able to link the your name to an account if it's set up as a LLC (Business Name) Once you put your Account and Routing info in PayPal do they know the owner of the account?

No. My guess for why is that since Paypal isn't a financial institution they are not allowed the same privileges as other financial institutions.

If they wanted to they could simply look up your LLC on your state's SOS website and find out who owns it that way. But they don't.

Thanks, been super paranoid lately.
