You were able to add a VBA on a NON US account with no phone verification?
Can anyone confirm?

I was able to add a US vba to an older account. The account is about the age since the start of this problem. It was added no problem, just needed to phone verify.

I tried a fresh CA account today, and it was throwing the same "you cannot add a bank at this time" error. Maybe the account needs to be 1-3 weeks old?

I think you're right, my account is able to add vba now, just need phone verify.

try some accounts worldwide:

US CA, can add VBA if you go through call verification.

CA account - one year old, US account - new registered

UK account , even there is no link to add one US' bank account for old account and new account.

CN account new, there is link to add one US' bank account, but one message " you can't add this bank at this time.

you have to send $10 and then another small amount. Or wait 24 hrs after your last deposit.

Correction, US paypal... you can add VBA normally, I just did try it with 3 US NEW paypal accounts

Same issue here:

Created a new CANADA pp and tried to add US wells fargo. I got the 'You cannot add a bank at this time.'
Then today tried again
Tried to add US bank and VBA to freshly created CANADA pp. I still get the error 'You cannot add a bank at this time.'

Is calling the only option?


Any tips when calling so I don't blow off my stealth cover?



How do you trigger the phone verify?

why would a US bank work with a Canada paypal in the first place? wouldn't PP want your bank to be in your country?

I have tried some one year old Canadian PP, just ask calling verification. for new Canadian PP I also get message , you can't add this bank at this time. maybe have to wait one or two months for fresh pp to add VBA

For new PP, has anyone successfully called?

I think you must wait 1-2 more weeks until you can add US bank VBA to canadian paypal.

Ah, there is a nice little gift from paypal.

A USA bank account may be used on paypal accounts of other countries.

Not evey country has this. There are many that do.

paypal has lots of tricks

:pop2:

USA bank has long been a nice default bank across all PP accounts - lately there have been issues with addition but just an extra step needed to call...

@rsot

What kind of questions do they ask you when you call to add us bank account?

Has anyone called PayPal for a VBA not working ... ?

Dont ask much questions if you are clear about your info...name, number, e-mail...how can i help you? I want to add my us bank account - not working in system, tells me to call...I have only done this once, was added.

Would like to hear more of other experiences - this was for a US bank on CA pp.

Thx. Will try this week.

i read the comments above and i am confused. so is the call an automatic robot call or a real call? thanks

its an automatic call, not an actual person.

1. when you try to add a US bank, if pp prompt to verify your phone number, that is a automatic call with a robot.

2. if you failed to add a US bank, you need to call pp ask for help, sure that is a real person.

Any update ?
