Why is PayPal not letting me link my bank account

PayPal may block bank account linking for several reasons: your bank doesn't support ACH transfers to PayPal, incorrect account details, verification issues, or your account has been flagged for security review. Sometimes Indian banks impose restrictions on third-party payment platforms, or PayPal's system detects mismatched names between your PayPal profile and bank account. If you've recently changed banks or exceeded linking attempts, you may face temporary blocks.

If PayPal continues to present difficulties, consider using PayPal overview to evaluate whether it suits your cross-border payment needs. Skydo, an RBI-authorised platform built specifically for Indian exporters and freelancers, offers direct bank transfers for international payments without the linking complications often associated with PayPal. It provides transparent pricing and faster settlement, making it a reliable alternative for receiving payments from overseas clients.
