How To Withdraw Money From UAE PayPal Account
This is possible by Adding Bank Account Number and Routing Number Given to You by Payoneer.
Before we continue, I hope you have got a Payoneer account or else visit Payoneer.com and create your Payoneer account. You will be given a US Payment Service Information such as Bank Name, Routing Number, Account Number, and Account Type. Payoneer comes as an angel in disguise to help you receive money from any part of the globe when other techniques fail. And guess what, you don’t have to pay a single extra penny for that.
Linking your Payoneer account with PayPal is another way of verifying your Paypal account. To verify and Link your Payoneer account with PayPal, follow the instruction below:
1. Login to your UAE PayPal account
2. Drag the pointer to the right hand of your homepage or dashboard and hover it on the “spanner” icon, then tap on Account Setting or on Confirm your account as it may appear.
3. From the drop-down menu, click on money, banks and cards, then choose Link a bank
4. Scroll down and click on Link a U.S Bank Instead
5. Select Checking as your account type.
6. Enter the Bank details that you had received from Payoneer US Payment Service, like Account number and Routing number. (You can also get this info by login to your Payoneer account, from the home page, click ‘Global Payment Service‘. You will see the needed detail there).
7. Then click on the ‘Link your Bank‘ button. This may take 2-3 business days to get processed.
Once you are able to do this correctly, your Payoneer account becomes linked and verified with UAE PayPal! You will need to wait for a while before PayPal will charge Payoneer a little confirmation fee, this is usually done twice, unlike the card method.
Once your account has been charged successfully, you will be able to transfer the money paid into your PayPal to the US bank, which you added and you can withdraw it in your local bank or through ATM with the Payoneer Card issued to you.
That is all for now.
