After PayPal account creation, to view your account number and routing number “go to your account settings by clicking the upper right icon in the app or online”. Paypal is an online payments system in the majority of countries that support online money transfers and serves as an electronic alternative to traditional paper methods such as checks and money orders.
Paypal account number: Paypal uses linking by email address. The email address is your Paypal ID. Paypal does not identify its accounts with numbers, but instead of that, it uses your account’s primary email address in place of a number. This primary email address that you have given at the time of account creation can be identified in your user profile. It means your account is identified by the email address that you log in with.
Routing numbers: Routing numbers are the codes and are between 8 and 11 digits used by Paypal and other banks to help financial institutions to identify the location of your account.
After this process, click on “Direct deposit” where you will find a Paypal assigned account number, as well as the routing number required for the IRS portal.
Here are the steps how to Link a Bank Account to Your PayPal:
Step 1: Link a new bank account. To start linking a new bank account, look for Wallet on the top bar, which brings you to an overview of your current PayPal balance, as well as linked credit or debit cards.
Step 2: Add in your bank account details.
Step 3: Confirm Bank Card.
The above sample image shows you where do you find the Paypal id and routing number.
We should consider one point that the account and routing number associated with direct deposit are for incoming payments only and can not be used for outgoing purchases or payments. This information might help you to access Paypal.
