If you receive the error message "You have already added this bank account to your PayPal account" with PayPal, then you should proceed as follows.
Have you already added this bank account to your PayPal account? PayPal account not yet confirmed
Perhaps you have not yet confirmed your PayPal account. Your bank account information is already deposited with PayPal, but is not yet ready to pay. How to activate:
- As soon as you have saved the bank account details, an amount of EUR 0.01 will be transferred to your bank account after a few days. You will find a payment code as the purpose of this transfer.
- Then log in to PayPal and under "Don't forget" click on "Confirm bank account". Enter the payment code there.
- After confirming the bank account, you should no longer ask PayPal for a new payment method. If so, read on in the next section.
Still an error message? Check with PayPal support
Maybe something went wrong with PayPal. It is possible that the automatic switch to SEPA, i.e. to IBAN and BIC, did not work.
- In such a case, it is best to contact PayPal directly. The fastest way to contact support is via 0800 7234 500.
- You can also call this number on your mobile phone. It is always free.
- Before you call there, click on "Contact" in your account below and then on the right on "Call us".
- If you call the PayPal support hotline, you may be asked for a PIN, which you can see shown there. Then enter the PIN to identify yourself.
More solutions to the problem
If the message remains, it may also be that PayPal has rejected the account or that an account is insufficient. In this case, you have the following options.
- In certain cases, PayPal may require more than one payment option as a prerequisite for the service.
- If you have another bank account, also enter the bank details as an additional option. Alternatively, you can also use a credit card as a payment option.
- Don't forget to confirm this new bank account or credit card as well.
Transfer money to PayPal
If it simply does not work out by depositing a bank account as a payment option, transfer money to your PayPal account.
- So you can easily pay with your PayPal credit when shopping.
- If you don't want to wait and it takes too long for the money to arrive by bank transfer, use Giropay to top up your PayPal account quickly.
