Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Hi just wondering if anyone has used the ffree UK bank account says you can use it to withdraw with PayPal but have to change settings to standing order not direct debit on PayPal!!
Any help

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

If I remember right, PayPal do not like standing orders only direct debits!

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Ffree doesn't accept PayPal transfer, so you can't withdraw.

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Ffrees works fine for pp. They just reject the direct debit but the withdrawals go through fine.

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Correct. As long as you dont let it get kicked its fine. Re-add via withdraw section.

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

So sounds like this account is added in the same way as savings accounts, by ignoring the kickback of the direct debit, and just add it again when the withdrawal time arrives

What message did you get?

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

I haven't tried it as I was just looking at different UK bank accounts and came across it it says it can be used with PayPal as a standing order...
Contacted ffree bank and something they're looking into and hopefully up and running by this spring

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Hmm cant make an account online or I'd like to test it out too :(

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?

anyone used for amazon ?

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Does anyone know how many of these accounts can be open and what is the best one to go for?

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

In general, if bank is useable for PP...should be ok for Amazon...

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

You're adding it the wrong way then, this message is becoming a lot more frequent for 'out of the norm' type bank accounts.

Tip: Dont use the old PayPal

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

So is this Ffree bank ok to use? Has anyone else tried it and had good feedback?

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

yes frees is good to use.
Have been using it on one account for more than 6 months now, no problem so far.
However if you opt for the basic account keep in mind you can only have a maximum of £5000 deposited at any one time. Not that you would keep all of that money on any account attached to a paypal anyway but worth knowing.

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Yes ffrees is perfectly fine to use. I have been using it for months without any issues at all *touch wood*.

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Can you have more than one account?

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Mismatched names?

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Hi guy, I've just created a ffrees account the other day, I tried to add it to my pp stealth account but it said "it couldn't add the account please try again later" it's been a full morning and still the same problem. Are pp still accepting ffrees? Also the sort code comes up as natwest!!
Thanks any thoughts welcome

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

It's a generic PayPal system error.

Happens on some accounts. If you ring to try and add it they will say PayPal don't support that bank....same with a few others of the prepaid ones

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

So can these account be used to withdraw on PayPal as some are saying they're great and others saying they don't work?

Thanks

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Yes you can use it to WITHDRAW

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Can you have more than one bank account with ffree?

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Just done the online application now so will see how it goes with PayPal once it's all set up and I receive the card

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Please keep us/me updated on how you get on ..:typing:

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

hi

all i get is the try again later or call us

any ideas?

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Yes you have to go into Paypal and rather than use the "wallet" or "add bank account" use the Withdraw option and verify the account that way.

One of the many quirks in the Paypal system.

Hope this helps if not let me know

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

I add every bank account using withdraw method, never any issues.

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

How many accounts can you open with Ffrees?

Thanks in advance....

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?

Re: Anyone used ffree UK bank account?
 

Just read all the reviews on this thread. I'll apply for an account and hope it works for me
