How do I add money to my balance to spend with my PayPal Debit Card or Business Debit Mastercard® purchases?

When you make a purchase with your Business Debit Mastercard®, we'll use any available money you have in your balance with PayPal. Here's what you need to do to add money to your balance:

Receive money

When someone sends you money through PayPal or a customer pays you, it can be used for your Business Debit Mastercard® purchases.

Add money from your eligible bank account on the web

1. Go to Money.
2. Click Add Money.

The standard transfer usually takes 3-5 business days for a transfer to complete, and it can be done at any time and at no cost. We’ll email you when the transfer completes.

Add money on the PayPal app

To add money from your eligible bank account on the app:

1. Tap Finances.
2. Tap Add from your bank.
3. Enter the amount and tap Next.
4. Review your details and tap Add to Your Balance.

Or go to Wallet to add cash at stores or cash a check. 

Add money at participating stores

You can add cash at any participating Green Dot retailer (including Walmart, CVS, 7-Eleven, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and many others). Take your cash to the register and let the clerk know you want to add cash to PayPal. A fee of up to $4.95 applies. They will ask you to swipe your PayPal Business Debit Mastercard®. Then hand the cash (between $20 and $500) to the clerk. Your money will be added within minutes, and you’ll receive an email confirmation.

If you’re unable to add money, your PayPal account may be limited, or you may need to verify your identity. You can always Contact Us if you continue to have issues.
