VERIFY YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT

Verified PayPal members living outside of the U.S. complete the Expanded Use process by:

1. Confirming their email address
2. Adding a credit card
3. Entering the Expanded Use Number

How to complete the Expanded Use Process?

First, add a credit card to your PayPal account.

1. Click the My Account tab.
2. Click the Profile subtab.
3. Click the Credit Cards link in the Financial Information column.
4. Click Add.
5. Fill out the Add Credit Card form.
6. Click Add Credit Card.
7. You have successfully added your credit card to your PayPal account.

Second, enroll in the Expanded Use Program.

1. Upon adding your credit or debit card, complete the Expanded Use enrollment wherein PayPal charges your card a small fee ($1.95).
2. The fee appears on your bank account statement accompanied by a unique, randomly generated four-digit Expanded Use (EXPUSE) number.
3. Locate your four-digit Expanded Use number, either on your next paper or online credit card statement. The Expanded Use number is located right before the word PayPal in the description of the Expanded Use fee charged to that credit card.
4. Log in to your PayPal account and click the Complete Expanded Use Enrollment link on the Account Overview page to complete your enrollment.

It usually takes 2-3 business days for the PayPal Expanded Use Number to appear, depending on the issuing bank. If you do not have online access to your statement, wait until you receive your physical statement to check your four-digit PayPal Expanded Use Number.
