UK PayPal linking with US Bank

[invince]

I searched on forums that this is allowed. However I cannot find how I could do it.

I click 'profile' > 'my money' > 'Link bank', and see the following

So there's no options to add US bank?

I don't think you can add a US bank to a UK account.

I believe this is because the UK has their own infrastructure and ability to transfer to their own bank accounts.

Thanks for the list, appreciate it.

However the list doesn't say you can withdraw money from HK Paypal to US Bank, but I can actually do that. So this list is not complete I think.

Ongoing hassles at present with non-UK banks being added to paypal UK accounts. The attempt to add them simply fails.

What worked 6 months ago is not working at this point.

Yep, the option to add a US bank to a verified UK paypal is no longer there.

Was a sad day when that disappeared.

Worse, paypal UK staff did not even know. Had to point its demise out to one of them

Talk about klutz

Having clueless Paypal employees does have it's benefits though.

You used to be able to add US banks to the UK platform - this option is now down - pretty aggravating the sudden change but it is what it is
