How can I use a balance with PayPal?

You can keep and use your PayPal balance if you’ve confirmed your identity with us. 

You can use your balance to send money to family and friends or to shop online.

To view your available balance, go to your Home page.

The available balance shows how much money you have available in your primary currency. It doesn’t reflect pending payments or recurring payments or orders that have not been completed.

To see a detailed breakdown of different currencies, go to your Money page.
