How to link your FNB Account with PayPal

Go to your PayPal Account and add your bank card. To add your bank card, go to PayPal and fill in the numbers on your card.

PayPal will deduct about R20 from your FNB Cheque Account in order to confirm that the bank card and bank account really are yours.

About 3 to 6 days later you will get a statement that will reflect the R20 transaction with a code. Use that code in your PayPal Account and your card will be confirmed.

Make sure that you double check with the consultant that when you receive your FNB cheque account card that it has the VISA logo on it.

If you have a transactional bank account with another bank, you may need to create an FNB online banking profile before you can send funds to your bank account.
