  7. Click Submit.

To link your bank account on the PayPal app:

Finding your Global Account details:

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!


For the existing Airwallex Webapp Experience:

If you don't see "Business Accounts" in the left navigation column, you're on the old Airwallex experience. You will be migrated to the new WebApp experience soon as we gradually roll it out.
