Can I purchase crypto with my business account?

Currently, you can only use PayPal’s crypto services with a PayPal Balance account or certain eligible US-based business accounts.

If you are the primary account holder for a US-based PayPal business account, you can: 

  • Buy, sell, and hold crypto, including PayPal’s stablecoin PayPal USD (PYUSD.)
  • Transfer crypto to or receive crypto from external wallets.

If you are a secondary user for a US-based PayPal business account, you can view the account’s crypto hub, but you won’t be able to initiate any transactions. 

When will crypto be available for business accounts?

Currently, buying, selling, and holding crypto on PayPal is available for PayPal Balance accounts and certain eligible US-based business accounts.

You can find our Acceptable Use Policy, Fee Structure, and Terms and Agreements by clicking Legal at the bottom of any PayPal page.

How can I buy crypto if my business account isn't eligible?

If your business account isn’t eligible for PayPal’s crypto offerings, you have a few options: 

  • Open a PayPal Balance or Premier PayPal account with another email. Visit our Sign-Up page. 
  • Wait until crypto is available for other business accounts.

Visit Discover Crypto for more information.

Can have more than 1 PayPal account?

Yes. You can have 1 Personal account and 1 Business account. Each account must be registered with a unique email address.
