Hello everyone, I need my money from Paypal FAST, lol I'm currently adding a new bank account to my Paypal account - is there anyway to speed up this process. It normally takes 2-3 business days, or something near that. A few minutes after I did that, I realized that I could start a transfer (from paypal to my bank)-transfers take about 3 days- even though the verification process is still going. So now I'm wondering this: Will I have to wait 3 days for the verification PLUS another 3 more days for the transfer? Or just 3 days? I hope this make scene. lol Any help is VERY MUCH appriciated.

You forgot to mentioned to which country you are withdrawing the money. If it is in India, you will receive the money in 3-4days. First tell me from which country you are withdrawing the money.

Sorry. I forgot that the country I'm in makes a difference to how long it'll take. I'm in the US.

Yes. Remove it and try again. You can also email paypal with your question. I suggest you do that if you have any more problems because it should take less than 3 days.

It took me two days to finally receive my money. I guess it depends to what country you're situated... :D Usually it's between two to four days...

Thank you for that. I hope it takes 2 days for me, too. I'll update after it's processed. And I'm in the US.

I think paypal was very particular into doing their job so I'm sure that won't have problems with it unless you mistakenly put some unnecessary information like typing the wrong bank account or something... ^_^

I believe it depends on where you live. For me it takes up to 4 business days and I live in the Netherlands. I don't think there is any way of speeding up the process, which is very unhandy if you need to get the money fast. Is there any option paying whatever you need the money for through paypal? That's the only faster solution I know. Otherwise there's no other option than waiting for it to arrive I'm affraid.

Thank you. I hope they figure out how to make it all happen automatically. Or at least in 24 hours.

It depends on the country where you live and their banking system, some banks are fully computerized and some still depends on manual type of accounting. I have not added bank account on my paypal, is it safe to add bank or credit card details ?

It's definitely safe to trust paypal. BUT, It is smart to make sure the computer you use is not a public one as other people can try to find the information you entered into it. Paypay is a trust worthy site but be sure you are really on the paypal site. Not paypay.com or other sites that look like it, those are frauds.

I think its should take about 3 days at its max, and not longer than that for verification.. But for bank transfer, it's longer and it takes about 7 days?? Because that's what's happening to me, whenever i transfer money.. However, alot depends on paypal, and if u are lucky, u will get the money in 3 days, if not, it will be 7 ^_^

Hi! The verification process is about 2-3 days. Once verified, It took me at least 2 days for every transaction I make using my paypal account to transfer funds to my bank account. I think it really depends on what country are you going to withdraw funds to. Happy mylotting!
