Adding a payment method to your account.
In order to shop and send payments with PayPal, link a valid credit card to your account.

Linking a credit card.
You can link a credit card to your account when you sign up or while making a purchase. Manage your wallet easily from your account and when multiple cards are linked to your account, choose which card you'd like to use when checking out with PayPal.
We accept all major international cards.
Your card must have a verification number or security code to be used with PayPal.
One and done.
Once you’ve linked your payment method, you’ll never enter your account numbers again. You’ll pay with just your email and password—your key to secure and simple payments.
It’s rewarding.
If you’re currently earning points or miles through your credit card, you’ll continue to earn those points when you use that card with PayPal. Plus, you enjoy our other built-in benefits, like Buyer Protection.
