Can't Use Bank Account To Fund Paypal Payments???

[Panterauk]

Hi everyone,

I added my Natwest savers bank account to my stealth account a couple of days ago. I received the 4 digit code yesterday and confirmed the account but I just received an email saying that my bank has let paypal know that they can't use the account to fund paypal payments?

Is this bad?

No your fine. it just means you can make payments from your bank account. because it's a savings account it doesn't have the direct debit function.

Was there a mismatch with the names ?

There's various threads on the forums that mention TSB and Lloyds Bank are hot on mismatched names between PayPal and the Bank Account, Maybe NatWest have started too

Nope, Natwest are still super friendly.
All this means is you can't set up direct debits from a savings account, which is completely normal.

You don't want to fund anything from your bank account anyway, then they can see account name

Exactly, thats the idea of a stealth account to rake money in not spend it :-) Only use available balance to buy items or pay fees and never fund from bank.

Use a credit card or gift card to make purchases/payments
