Adding Money to your PAYPAL Account

1. Determine if you have or don't have a bank account tied to your PayPal account. You can do this by clicking the "Edit Profile" link on your "Account Overview" page. When you see the "Profile Summary" page, click on the "Bank Accounts" link in the "Financial" column.

2. Know and keep handy the last four digits of your bank account. For security purposes, when PayPal shows a list of available bank accounts, the name of the financial institution and the last four digits of the account are all that will be visible. The remaining are shown in "xxxxx."

3. View the bank accounts associated with your PayPal account to make sure the account you want to make a transfer from is listed and confirmed. If necessary, add it and complete the confirmation process.

4. Click the "Add Funds" link on the top of any PayPal page. When you see the "Transfer Funds" page, make note of the processing time. It usually takes 3 to 4 business days for electronically transferred funds to become an available part of your PayPal balance.

5. Select the "Transfer Funds From a Bank Account in the United States" link.

6. Pick the bank account from the drop-down menu. You have the option of adding an account from this page.

7. Enter the amount of money you want to transfer and hit the "Continue" button.

8. Look over the confirmation page and make any necessary corrections before clicking on the "Submit" button.

9. Check your inbox for a confirmation email and return to your PayPal account in a few days to check the status of the transfer.
