Bank account - again!

[Mack the Knife]

Have you guys ever had this?

I just registered a new PP account. I then did the security questions and e-mail verification. I followed this with adding a bank account. This is where I got something odd.

It seems to add OK, but I am not getting the 4-digit code upon checking online banking. So, I tried a random code (1234). It says something like .....code not yet arrive.....

First time getting this. I usually set up a new PP account (create PP account, do security questions, confirm e-mail address, log in and out a few times) and leave it for a day or so before attaching a bank account. This time, I added a bank account not long after creating PP account. Was this the problem?

What bank account have you added to the account? Differs in the amount of time it takes to get the code.

[Mack the Knife]

Yeah, I should have mentioned this. Santander basic account. Created account earlier this morning, so a few hours ago now.

i always get a delay with the 4 digit code with my bank but a phone call to your bank will tell you what the code is

[JamesNorth101]

Give the bank a ring, they will be able to tell you the code over the phone

Hi everyone

Im sorry for jumping in on this thread but can't find the answer im looking for elsewhere. I have added my bank account to pp but im stuck at the DD mandate stage. Bank account (my own details etc) Ebay account (@@@@ details).

If I submit the DD mandate will the @@@@ name be shown to the bank?

Or is there something I have missed?

Any help would be great!

You bank account is always in your real name. It's an offence otherwise.

You then register a PP account with a stealth name.

Here's an example. You name is Bruce Willis. Your stealth name is Orlando Bloom. You create a new PP account using the name Orlando Bloom. You then add your new bank account (which carries your real name, i.e. Bruce Willis) to this Orlando Bloom PP account.

Hope this helps. Do get the stealth guide. I myself found it useful, even with many years on PP/EB.

Thanks guys. But still no joy :( This is why I always prefer to attach a saver first. Looks like I lost a brand new Santander basic account :(

There is no code. I don't think it was ever sent. Why I say this? I created another PP account. When I add bank account, it shows "Unconfirmed - Deposit Not Sent". I then submit DD. It shows "Unconfirmed - Deposit Sent". I then input code for this 2nd account. It shows "Confirmed" and no more red flag.

With the first account (see first post at the top of this thread), When I added bank account and submitted DD, it is just showing "Unconfirmed". :(

Why, oh why, do I have to be the one to experience all new PP issues? :(

Thanks for your reply but is it ok to complete bank set up and do the DD mandate? Will the stealth name be shown to the bank when they send the two small deposits?

Thanks again for your help.

[Mack the Knife]

Yes, it's fine. Name mismatch is fine. Which bank? Lloyds is a no-no.

Sure bank can see the @@@@ name if they look into the money being sent (will be sent in that name) - why the concern? Explain

Santander for me was always slow. Transfers from PP to the bank were even worse, sometimes 3-4 days. Now obviously, dependent on the account its a 2 hour transfer which usually shows instantly....unless its a 24 hour review as they want to make sure enough funds are left in PP.

Since the faster payments have come in I havent used Santander but used to be slow at everything. Halifax > all

I was just unsure if this was going to cause any problems with the ebay/pp name being stealth and the bank account name being my own name.

So I guess that im ok to go ahead with the DD mandate as the name difference will not be a problem then?

Cheers!

Thanks, but I'm talking about the 1p deposit that PP sends you (when you attach a new bank account to a new PP account) which includes the 4-digit code. I need this code to verify. Surely there is no need for a 24-hour review or whatnot?

I'm having the exact same problem. Anyone ever find a solution to this?

I understand that above. I assume I add the stealth address too paypal?

If so, it's going to be different than the address that I used to create my bank account.

You dont give any address when you add a bank account.

You give account name (stealth), sort code and account number.

I'm using a Lloyds account, not a Satander account, but the 4-digit code that's supposed to be sent when you add a bank account isn't being sent at all.

As Mack said, when I add my Lloyds account and submit the Direct Debit, the status for the deposit just shows up as "Unconfirmed" and it doesn't get sent.

OP: Have you phoned the bank to ask them for the code as suggested?
