PP and name on bank account
 

Hi,

What if i try to link a bank account which does not belong to me? It's not mine but i control it. Yes, there will be name mismatch between PP and bank account.

Regards,

Shouldnt be a problem since PP cannot see the name of the bank acct holder.

Should be fine like slokor stated OP - which bank?

Re: PP and name on bank account
 

Revolut. It belongs to my pal (UK resident), created for me.

edit: I heard bad reputation of Revolut how they block the funds.

Revoult blocking funds? Please tell me more... I too have a Revoult account belonging to a UK resident friend.

I don't think so but old or experienced members may give a better answer.

What i meant, they are not a crypto friendly company.

It will work for you without a single doubt.

That's an online only bank right? Most of these types of banks do not like it when you receive funds in a different name and they either block the transaction and or close your account. They're not recommended for stealth accounts.

I thought PAYPAL does not like online only bank either OR has it changed?

Ah okay, I've not dived into crypto yet but its sparked my interest lately!

I am using a Revoult debit card set up in a friends name for the eBay account which is in their name also.

The friend has access to the revolut account as well?

Re: PP and name on bank account
 

No, they opened the account through the app on their old iPhone which I then bought from them as they didn't use it anymore. Once the card was delivered to their address I had them send the phone and card to me!

Another friend I have opened a Revoult account on their phone, I had them log out - then I used a selfie they sent me to log on to the app, on my phone which was cast on my TV. (This has worked for someone else I know also).

I have close friends I trust, but understand it isn't a route everyone would take.
