Information for foreigners in South Korea:

  • You won't be able to add a bank account with your Alien ID number.
  • If you registered a business in Korea, you'll need a Corporate ID number to add a local bank account to your PayPal account. If you don't have a Corporate ID number, you can only add a US bank account.     
  • If you have any available balance in your PayPal account and can’t add a bank account to withdraw it, you may use these funds to shop online or send payments to others.
