How do I verify my PayPal account?

What is it, and how do I do it?

Updated this week

On Askable, some particular studies require a verified PayPal account to be used.

Having a Verified PayPal Account is a process that takes place on PayPal and not Askable, (We're just checking if it meets the requirements set by PayPal!).

Having a verified PayPal account is a little more complex than just linking it to your Askable account.

PayPal have a support article on exactly how to go through their verification process here: How do I verify my PayPal account?

It's important to note that you can generally receive/transfer funds on a PayPal account even if it is not verified.

Verification is an additional security measure that PayPal have in place.

My account is now verified... Now what?

After you have successfully been able to verify your PayPal account, all you need to do is re-link 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!

Not all Askable opportunities require a verified PayPal account in order to participate. :)

You may just have to give the ones that do require it a miss!

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!

But my account is already linked with Askable?

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

You can still receives rewards from Askable even without a "Verified PayPal account".

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