Do I have to have the same last name on my bank account as my paypal account?

    Hi,

    I'm about to open up a bank acount so that I am able to transfer money over from my paypal account to my new bank account. A couple of years ago I got married, and so my old last name is on my paypal account. When I open my new bank account should I put my new last name on there? Or do I need to use my old last name in order for paypal to accept the bank account?

    I just have a feeling that if I used my married name on my bank account and try to get it verified when paypal has my maiden name, they wont accept the verification for the account. Does anyone have advice on what I should do?

    Thanks,

    Nedra

    Your first name and last name needs to be exact in paypal and your bank account.

    Nope, your first OR last name should match with your bank and paypal account.
