How do I verify my PayPal account?

What is it, and how do I do it?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Some countries require you to have a verified PayPal account as an extra layer of verification before you can link it with Askable.

It’s important to know that verification happens directly through PayPal, not through Askable. Our platform simply checks that your account meets PayPal’s verification requirements — we don’t control or influence the process.

Linking your PayPal account to Askable isn’t the same as verifying it.

Verification with PayPal usually involves confirming your identity and linking a valid bank account or card.

For step-by-step guidance, PayPal has a helpful article here:

My account is now verified... Now what?

After you have successfully been able to verify your PayPal account, all you need to do is attempt linking it with Askable!

You can do this by going to your Profile then going to Rewards and then Reward Method

What if I can't verify my PayPal account?

If for any reason you are unable to verify your PayPal account, that is okay!

You can still use e-gift cards as your reward method.

I've completed PayPal's steps and it still says I'm not verified?

If your account is still showing as unverified after completing all of PayPal's steps you may need to reach out to the PayPal support team.

There are some circumstances where you may need to complete additional steps and the PayPal team are going to be the best ones to help you out with that!

Some users have reported removing and re-adding a card to their PayPal account has worked successfully!

But my account is already linked with Askable?

Linking with Askable and having a verified PayPal account are seperate things.

PayPal's verification is an additional security measure they have in place that we utilise for some specific opportunities!
