How to verify PayPal account

To verify your PayPal account, log in and navigate to your account settings. PayPal typically requires you to link and confirm a bank account or credit card. For bank accounts, PayPal deposits two small amounts (usually a few cents) into your account, and you'll need to confirm those exact amounts in PayPal to complete verification. You may also be asked to upload identity documents depending on your account type and transaction volume.
