Does that mean that the basic bank accounts you can ask for dont work with paypal in the UK?

@arshavin, correct. The account must be a current account. Which bank are you thinking of using?

Damn!!! I am not sure. I already have bank accounts with, barclays and natwest.

Can i be cheeky enough to ask or a new account with barclays? I dont use the barclays account anymore so askin for a new one would prob be suspicous.

The card i will be adding is in a different name from the paypal, will this be a problem, also its just a basic account but im sure it dose direct debit/ current account

Like GB said if it has direct debit on the account it will work.

Provided you are in good standing with a bank, you can ask. tbf, I'd go for Natwest. They are very friendly: I know they have accounts with direct debit

hey
 

The card i will be adding is in a different name from that of the paypal, will this be a problem ????? the bank im using is bank of ireland

I had the same thought but i tried it but with entropay. I have different names on ebay and paypal and real info on entropay. I would not know about the bank cards

its ok about name, you wiill get expuse on card and input it..

i know what you are saying but that's for the debit card verification, what im doing is the bank verification (2 deposits)

you put bank card, which I assumed you meant was the card.

anyway so you you mean bank account? same thing, name unimportant usually, you will get 2 deposits on statement.

I cant rememeber where about i read it on the forum but i saw something about being able to open sub accounts on a certain online bank i think???

If i have that right can we do this in the UK and what bank is this? Would make things easier cos if not, sooner or later we will run out of lives with the banks.

bank account or entropay
 

just wanted to know whether its better to get an entropay acct or go with basic accnt ? and will paypal accept entropay accts in UK

ajmon, entropay gives you the virtual card to use to verify paypal. You'll need a bank account for paypal money :ranger:

I moved back into my parents house 6 weeks ago due to splitting with my ex. I had been away for 2 1/2 years. Will this go against me when it comes to applying for basic bank accounts?

I have bad credit and a new address. Will this ruin the applications in any way?
