hlo wat if i have only equity bank account no debit or credit card can I access paybal

[@gmeshoc9511]

Great video Bro

[@David_Mbugua]

Thanks!

[@effiefiona9693]

thank you David for this. however, does this mean that cards from other local banks such as cooperative bank are not valid or cannot be used for the Paypal account?

[@David_Mbugua]

You are welcome, Effie. For cards from other local banks you need to visit your bank and tell them to allow you to use your card for online transactions. The reason why I prefer and recommend Equity bank is because they are the only bank in Kenya that you can withdraw your funds to from PayPal. Here's how to verify your PayPal account with an Equity Mastercard or VISA: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnupd3aue7WGgMU

[@effiefiona9693]

oh okay. thank you. let me check out your skrill video.

[@khalil101-8]

what about if you dont have a credit card?

[@David_Mbugua]

Hi Khalil, You can still open a PayPal account but you will need to verify it using a Credit Card (you can get a prepaid debit card) You will not be able to transact if your account is not verified. Thanks.

[@khalil101-8]

ugh :(

[@David_Mbugua]

Sorry. :(

[@SK-gj3jb]

Hi David...can u earn online via paypal while still u haven't linked any debit/credit card in paypal????

Hi S K. You can earn but you cannot withdraw until you link a valid debit or credit card. Thanks.

[@okwembajacktone4583]

hello, i am trying to link my equity master-card to my pay pal but its telling me the card is not accepted. What might be the issue

[@David_Mbugua]

Hello Okwemba, Sorry to hear that PayPal is not accepting your card. Do you have some money in your Equity bank account? For the verification process to work, you need to have some money in your account. Roughly 500 Kenya Shillings. I hope this helps. Thanks!

Hi David am using Co-op Visa and it's not linking completely.Its saying use another card. I tried using Equity MasterCard and its still giving me the same results. What might be the problem

Hi, I'd recommend you visit your bank or call them to activate the card for online transactions. Thanks.

[@vikisneakers]

where is a routing number found on your bank card?

[@David_Mbugua]

Kindly do a Google search for the routing number of you bank and the branch. They are available online.

[@vikisneakers]

@@David_Mbugua so a routing number is common for each bank?

[@StevenMulinya]

Can i use a coop bank account?

[@David_Mbugua]

I have not tried to verify any account with any other bank. PayPal has an agreement with Equity bank and therefore I would recommend using an Equity bank account to ease the hustle of even withdrawing your funds in the future. I hope this helps. Thanks!

[@StevenMulinya]

Thanks alot. very helpful

You are welcome, Steven. All the best!

Thank you David...you really helped....Can't I use the KCB credit card (visa)

[@David_Mbugua]

You are welcome, Luqmaan. You can use the KCB credit card (visa) but to streamline the process it is always best to use an Equity Bank Card. The reason is, Equity Bank is the only bank supported by PayPal in Kenya. Here's how to verify your PayPal account using Equity Bank Card (Process works for Visa and Mastercard Cards) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnupd3aue7WGgMU

Can u get money on mpesa

[@David_Mbugua]

Unfortunately, NO. At the time of recording the video and writing this reply, the only way to get money from PayPal to Mpesa is using someone else (middlemen) to make the transactions. I'd recommend using Equity bank for PayPal to Bank and then Mpesa transaction. The only limitation is having to wait. Thanks!
