Verifying Microdeposits

Depending on the country location of your Global Account, the format of the microdeposits sent by PayPal to your Global Account for verification purposes may vary. Typically 1-2 microdeposits will be sent to your Global Account, which you'll be required to confirm within your PayPal account. There may be a code included in the reference line which you'll also be required to confirm. Please keep in mind that depending on location, this may take a few business days to complete.

Congratulations! You have successfully added a new account!
