Bank of china in uk to accept paypal

[shawnjai]

I just opened a bank of china account in manchester. The issued me a debit card. I use it to open paypal and theres some problem on deposit. Anyone ever used that bank to open paypal before? Do i need to tell the bank to accept online transactions & direct debits? Please help

what about the other banks that provide basic accounts, why go for the obscure?

why would it be obscure? BOC are regulated in the UK by the FSA, I think it would be just another one on the list of banks in the uk for paypal accounts.

Just thinking that perhaps non high-street banks will have more fees and other things to contend with, could be wrong

More then likely they want people to join there bank then others, however if you send more than 3000gbp they ask questions, this is due to UK money regulations not the bank itself. To join you need a passport or driving license, no need for a bank statement or utility bill I called them up today and they are open from 9 - 4pm and even open on a sunday which is great !

Hi, i opened 3 Bank of China accounts last year, waste of time
The accounts cant be added to Paypal, because the account number is too long
