I dont have a checking account and I do have paypal. I opened it without a checking account. I love paypal because I can use it to pay for many online things. You can also get a debit card from them after you have been with paypal for a few months.

Paypal does have an option to send you a check if thats what you want. I usually just buy things online or use my debit card at the stores. I think they charge a fee for sending a check but its not that much.

You can open a paypal account with out a checking account. It will just be a normal paypal and not a verified account. I think that is the only difference.

They can send you a check. If you want to get money out of atm I think you need to be a verify user. To be a verify user, you need a checking account or a credit card.

I'm not sure what the regulations are right now. I'm not in the USA so you will have to check with Paypal USA about that.
