Is PayPal a Legitimate Bank?

The Facts
In the United States, a bank is a financial institution, licensed by the government and providing specialized financial services to its customers.
Bank Regulation
A bank agrees to regulation by an industry-specific body of U.S. law, covering fraud, credit, liens, contracts, banknote issuance, privacy and other issues.
PayPal
In a June 2007 BusinessWeek article, Catherine Holahan explained that PayPal isn't a bank because it depends on other financial institutions such as GE Consumer Finance to provide many of its services. In a 2002 advisory letter, the FDIC said that as long as PayPal doesn't accept direct deposits, it won't be regulated as a U.S. bank. In Europe, however, PayPal does have a banking license.
Other Differences
Per its User Agreement, PayPal doesn't run credit checks for new accounts unless the user registers for a business merchant account.
Considerations
Though it's not a bank, PayPal's flexibility and lack of regulation may be a boon for consumers looking for a financial services provider that's less regulated, and has greater Internet purchasing access.

How to Get Your Money From Paypal

1. Use your PayPal account to make online purchases. Most websites that sell items online accept PayPal as a form of payment. This is a great option if you use the money that you make online to make purchases on the Internet. However, you cannot use this option to make most of your monthly bill payments or to have cash on hand.
2. Request a debit card to access your money. The PayPal debit card is linked directly to the money in your account, similar to a debit card that is attached to your personal checking account. This option is popular with people who use PayPal to make money online. Once money is deposited into PayPal accounts, users have instant access to it.
3. Instruct PayPal to transfer the money electronically to your bank account. You can request the transfer at any time. The transfer occurs within 5 to 7 days -- frequently less -- from the day that you request it. Once in your bank account, you use the money as you see fit. This solution gives you check-writing and cash-withdrawal capabilities.
4. Instruct PayPal to issue a check to you for the money that you make online and mail it to you. This option takes the longest amount of time to get your money. However, some people feel safer receiving a check.
