First, let's create a personal PayPal account

  • To create a new account, go to PayPal's website using your favorite browser. Tap on the "Sign Up" button to get started. Alternatively, you can download the official PayPal mobile application for your iOS or Android device.

  • Choose the Personal account type. Tap "Get Started." When PayPal asks, state your location honestly. This will help you avoid problematic financial laws and transaction rejection. After stating your location, tap "Get Started" again.

  • Then, Enter your active mobile number. Click "Next". Receive a security code via SMS. Enter that code.

Let's enter the basic information as the next step

  • First, provide your "email address". Then, provide your "first and last name". Finally, create a "password" that you remember and can't guess. (Follow PayPal's instructions for creating a strong password!)

  • Confirm your password. And click the "Next" button.

  • Provide your billing address and personal details as they appear on your passport or National ID. Make sure all this information is stated correctly: "Nationality", "Date of birth", "Addresses", "Postal code", and "locality".

  • Check the checkbox to agree to Paypal Agreements and create the account.

Now, let's add payment methods to your personal PayPal account

After completing the last step in the previous section, you will see a screen asking you to connect a card.

  • First, enter the "card number" (consisting of 16 numbers on the front of the card). Next, select the "card type" (such as Visa or Mastercard). Specify the "expiry date". Enter the "CVC code" (located on the back of your card with three numbers). Provide a "billing address" if it is different from your address. Finally, click "Link Card."

Now let's see how to link your bank account with PayPal account

  • Go to Wallet first. Click Link a card or bank after that. Click Link a bank account after that.
  • Look for your bank and choose it from the drop-down menu.
  • By inputting your bank login details, you can instantly connect to your bank.
