can i merge my brother's bank account with my paypal id??

title says all, pls advice me on this

 

A single bank account cannot be used on multiple PayPal accounts. There may also be problems with the account holders name, so it would be a good idea to add your own bank account.

 

my brother doesnt have paypal a/c,. he have icici bank a/c. and i have paypal a/c. i want to merge his icici bank account with my paypal. so i can withdraw cash easily as i dont have icici bank a/c.

 

Well like I've already said, there may be problems with the name on the bank account matching the name on the PayPal account so it may or may not work properly.

 

so that means i have to open account with icici banks.

 

That would be the correct solution.

 

Any bank with same name as in paypal account.

 

Well, there is one way you can use your brother's bank account and that is to go to the bank and ask them to convert the account from a single holder account to a joint-holder account with both your brother's and your name on the account.

However, I would recommend that having your account is a lot better. Because people can change because of money. What I am saying is, I hope I am wrong, but I have seen too many friends or family members cheat each other because of money. If you use his account then he may treat it as his own money and spent it which he legally can since it is in his bank account. Even if you drag him to court, you will not win the case. I hope that is not how your brother is though.

 

thanks for your valuable advise eddy.

 

no you can't because if the names are not match you can't be a verify member of paypal

 

yup, every one is right. You must have a bank account of your own. Its really simple nowadays if you are over 18.
Most banks open new accounts without the need of depositing initial funds. Good Luck !

 

nope i dont think so, Whereas Your LAST Name MUST BE SAME,

as even i have pp but no bank account, and i used my brother Bank.. and when i widraw i changed the name .
SIMPLE.. You can only change your first NAme but Not your Last Name

you can also check when Widrawing that you can change your First name only

 

I guess it is just different depending on what bank you use and what country you are in. I live in US, my husbands bank is BB&T. I don't have a bank account, so when I opened my paypal account he attached his BB&T account to it with no problems at all. The name on my paypal account is mine, the name on the bank account attached to my paypal account is my husbands. I have had this account for a year now with no problems, I have transferred money from paypal to my husbands account and vice versa. So I say, no, the name on your paypal account and the name on the bank account don't have to match.

 

You must be having a Joint account or it depends on which country People are from as you stated.

from bank to paypal / or vice-versa. i dont know much

but when you widraw cheque your name must match to the paypal account holder.

Thats all i know probably.

 

i have mailed same query to paypal executives and i m awaiting their reply.
