My friend has a paypal account (well, his parents'), but he wants to know if he can withdraw payments from that paypal account to his bank account. He is 17. He is from canada.
Well, yes, as long as the name in paypal is the same as the name on the bank account. See https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-country-functionality-outside
It all depends on how strict your bank is whether they perform any checks. Wouldn't it be safer to just withdraw to his parents bank account since it is all in the family. If not then just get a joint-account with both names.
