Why can’t I link my Chase account to PayPal?

There might be a lot of reasons why you might not be able to link your Chase account to PayPal. Let us look at the reasons below.

Reason 1 – Incorrect details

Every single detail you add to PayPal should be matching with the details of your bank account. So, even if your name on the bank account doesn’t match your name in your PayPal account, you will not be able to add it.

Reason 2 – Not a U.S. bank

If the bank you are trying to add to PayPal is not one from the United States, then you will not be able to add that account. You have to choose a US bank account in your possession and add it.

Reason 3 – Linked to another account

The account you are trying to add to PayPal is already linked to another PayPal account. So, a bank account can only be related or linked to one PayPal account at a time.

Reason 4 – Only 3 accounts in a lifetime

A bank account cannot be added to PayPal if it has already been added to other PayPal accounts before. In a whole lifetime of the bank account, it can only be added to 3 PayPal accounts. So, if you have already crossed those limits it could be hindering your account from being added to PayPal.

Reason 5 – Negative or zero balance

If you have a PayPal account with a considerable balance, you could add Chase to that account. But, if your PayPal account has a balance of zero or below it, you might not be able to add a bank account as a payment method.

Reason 6 – PayPal account flagged

If your account has been limited by PayPal, you cannot even do basic transactions. So, you obviously will not be able to add a card to it. You can ensure that there is no unauthorized activity in your account before adding an account.
