Anyone having a problem adding a bank account to Paypal UK
 

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to add a new bank account to my paypal account. I'm getting this message "We are unable to process your bank registration at this time. Please try again at a later date. I have changed the phone number on this account today. The paypal account is over 5 years old and never had any problems with it.

Anyone else having this problem?

I'm going to give it a few days and then try again.

I take it, it's not a good idea to phone paypal?

Make that your last choice to call.

What bank & type of account are you trying to use.

Getting reports of issues.

Let us know

I have had the same issues with the UK paypal!

My account is an online everyday saver with halifax.

First time I have used this type of account but, i have used the online saver many times before with no problems but haven't tried again since this has happened.

It's a Natwest Basic Account.

I created 3 new stealth accounts last week and I had this problem with one of them as well.

I think I'll sit tight for now.

Thanks

How long have you had the problem for mate?

Yesterday. Never had this problem before.

Those types of accounts are giving issues right at the moment.

:spy:

The Savers or Natwest Basic?

Both.

Not sure the basis for this round of glitches except they are 'there'.

:pout:

Thanks for the heads up, I added an everyday saver recently. Haven't had any payments recently, currently ok.

What is very interesting is that I actually tried to add an "esaver" I already have a few, but when I try to open it says "there's been a problem" but doesn't specify what. That's why I opened the everyday saver instead.

Get the feeling I'm under the microscope. :what:

Still no joy with this.

Do you think it's worth waiting longer or giving them a call?

Call only if you are confident you can take whatever they dish out... including a possible request for ID.

That said, adding bank accounts in general has been nearly impossible these last day for the UK
User tried for 3 weeks. then ended up calling and having the account added manually.

Thanks, I think I'll sit tight for a bit to be safe.

Wise move.

It's now let me add it.

When I used to do withdrawals before they were instant. Now I get the following message - Your withdrawal request is awaiting release for final processing, pending review by PayPal. Is this Usual when adding a new bank account?

well done mate

you kept calm and it worked

probs just something new, an explanation of the pending/completed bit, i would not worry too much about it

Yes this is normal.

It takes 3 days for the money to go through, just like normal.

Shouldn't be anything to worry about.

Thanks guys
