How to Pay PayPal With a Checking Account

1. Open the PayPal website in your browser. Enter your email address and password to log into your account.
2. Click on the "Add or Edit Bank Account" option to link your PayPal account with a checking account. The option is located in the "Profile" drop-down menu under the "My Account" tab.
3. Click on the "Add Bank" button toward the bottom of the page. Select the "Checking" option for the type of bank account being added. Enter your account's routing number and account number in the appropriate fields. Click the "Continue" button.
4. Confirm the bank account by monitoring your checking account for two deposits from PayPal. These deposits are typically very small and may be as little as a few cents. Enter the deposit amounts in PayPal using the "Confirm Bank Account" button on the main account page. If the deposit amounts entered match what PayPal deposited into your account, your checking account will be confirmed and ready for use to pay for PayPal purchases.
