Step 1: Log in to Your PayPal Account
The first step is to log in to your PayPal account using your email address and password. If you don’t have a PayPal account yet, you can easily create one by visiting the PayPal website and following the sign-up process.
Step 2: Access Your Wallet
Once you’re logged in, locate and click on the “Wallet” tab usually found at the top of the PayPal homepage. This will take you to the page where you can manage your PayPal balance, linked cards, and bank accounts.
Step 3: Link a Bank Account
On the Wallet page, you will see different options for linking a card or a bank account. To activate IBAN, we need to link your bank account. Look for the “Link a bank account” or “Link a new bank” option and click on it.
Step 4: Choose Your Country and Bank
A pop-up window will appear, asking you to select your country and the bank you want to link. Choose your country from the drop-down list and then select your bank from the available options. If your bank is not listed, you can try searching for it using the search bar provided.
Step 5: Enter Your Bank Account Details
Once you have selected your bank, you will be prompted to enter your bank account details. Provide the required information accurately, including your full name as it appears on your bank account, the account type (e.g., checking or savings), and the IBAN number associated with your bank account. Make sure to double-check the information before proceeding.
Step 6: Confirm Your Bank Account
After entering your bank account details, PayPal may require you to confirm your bank account to ensure its validity. This process usually involves PayPal making small deposits into your bank account and asking you to verify the deposit amounts. Follow the instructions provided by PayPal to complete the confirmation process.
Step 7: Wait for Confirmation
Once you have successfully completed the steps above, PayPal will review and confirm your bank account. This process may take a couple of business days. You will receive an email notification from PayPal once your bank account is fully activated and ready to use with IBAN.
Step 8: Start Using IBAN on PayPal
Congratulations! You have successfully activated IBAN on PayPal. Now you can start using your bank account for seamless transactions, such as sending and receiving funds internationally. Your IBAN-enabled PayPal account offers more flexibility and convenience when it comes to managing your finances online.

- Note: Not all countries support IBAN on PayPal. If you don’t see the option to activate IBAN on your PayPal account, it may not be available in your country.
