If you want to link your PayPal to your bank account, you will need to register with FNB first, that is the only bank that allows PayPal transfers. Got this information from Google
Hope this helps

HI THERE. I AM HAVING TROUBLE LINKING MY ACCOUNT TO PAYPAL.
PERHAPS PAYPAL HAS CHANGED SINCE THESE INSTRACTIONS WER LAST EDITED BUT THEY ARE NO LONGER RELEVANT WITH REGARDS TO THE SETUP ON THE APP AND DO NOT OFFER THE SAME OPTIONS OR WORDING.
Here's how to link a bank account to your PayPal account:
To link a bank on the app:
To link a bank on the business app: - WHICH BUSINESS APP IS THIS THAT YOU ARE REFERING TO?
I NEVER SEEM TO BE GIVEN ANY OPTION TO LINK MY ACCOUNT FROM ANYWEHRE. (EXCEPT OF COURSE TO LINK A USA ACCOUNT)
PLEASE ASSIST. THIS SHOULD SURELY BE LESS HASSLE THAN THIS.
STANDARD BANK HAS BEEN AROUND FOR SO LONG BUT ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE BEHIND WHEN IT COMES TO DIGITAL ADVANCEMENTS. IS THERE NOT A SIMPLER MORE USER FRIENDLY WAY TO SORT THIS OUT?
I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU AS SOON A POSSIBLE.

On the 15th June 2023 a lady at the Standard Bank call centre told me that Standard Bank and PayPal are involved in a number of disputes and this means that Standard Bank cards can not be linked to PayPal. It would be useful if Standard Bank could confirm this on this forum so as to stop wasting out time when we try and link our cards to PayPal.

We have opened the link, and it does open the PayPal page.
We need to be patient while they are trying to verify your account. Kindly let us know how it goes.

I have tried to link again and after entering the routing number and account number I receive the below message to verify the bank.
How to confirm your bank account
1
See the exact amounts deposited.
We sent 2 small deposits (less than $0,50 USD each) that you'll receive in 3-5 days. They'll be removed in one withdrawal a few days later.
Bank statement
PayPal
+ $x,xx USD
PayPal
+ $x,xx USD
2
Enter those amounts into PayPal
Log in to PayPal, select the bank account from your payment methods, and enter the 2 deposit amounts to confirm your bank.

Hi @FanaM1,
I tried adding the bank using the routing number, but was not able to proceed with the follow up step of verifying the bank. Can you please advise if there are other steps required as I have not been able to find any.

I've been trying to link my Standard Bank Credit Card to my PayPal account for the past month and keep getting an error "YOU CARD WAS DECLINED BY ISSUING BANK".
I contacted PayPal and they advised it was an issue on the bank side.
I contacted Standard bank and no one can tell me why the card link is being declined
I have previously linked a Standard bank credit card, and it worked without issue. I've checked with friends that bank with other SA banks and they have had no issue linking their cards following the same process I did. This is the instruction followed https://www.paypal.com/za/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-link-a-debit-or-credit-card-to-my-account-faq82...
Standard bank please can you investigate and feedback ASAP?
