How to Check Your PayPal Balance

Founded in 1998, PayPal is a payment service that has been in operation for almost two decades. Making and receiving payments, giving money as a gift, and making charitable contributions are all important aspects of PayPal’s business. Still, the company provides convenience by allowing users to pay online. When you link your credit or debit card(s) to your PayPal account, you will not have to re-enter all of your card information every time you make an online purchase. Log into your PayPal account.

PayPal also allows storing a balance on the service for direct money transfers.. As long as you have access to a browser or the PayPal app, you may check your account balance anytime and from any device you choose.

FAQS

Can I see my prepaid card balance through the above methods?

You may link your credit and debit cards to your PayPal account, allowing you to make online purchases and pay straight through PayPal without entering your payment information twice. PayPal, on the other hand, does not have access to your account balance; instead, the corporation only safeguards the transaction, assuming that is even feasible. As a result, you will be unable to view your card or bank account balance using PayPal.

Can I use some else’s bank account for PayPal?

While PayPal enables several users to use the same credit card, the service does not allow you to link a bank account that is registered to someone else to your PayPal account and vice versa. Bank accounts are investigated more than credit/debit cards because of various legal difficulties associated with them.
