Send Money from TransferWise to PayPal

Sorry to disappoint you. It is currently not possible to transfer money from TransferWise to PayPal. Currently the TransferWise Borderless Accounts do not provide a direct debit feature which is part of the process for funds to be pulled from your bank account to PayPal. However, it is possible to activate or confirm your linked Borderless accounts within PayPal.

Once direct debit is available as a feature with Borderless Accounts, confirm your linked bank account in PayPal. Then, you should be able to ‘pull’ funds from your Borderless Account into you PayPal account of the same currency.

TransferWise Borderless Account Alternative

Are you in the UK or Europe?

WorldFirst have a competitor service similar to the TransferWise Borderless Account called the WorldFirst World Account. There is no concrete information about transferring from PayPal to the World Account yet as it is only available in UK, Europe and Australia.

WorldFirst gives you the real exchange rate when transferring with a transparent fee structure on top. If you transfer less that £500k / AUD$750k a year, then your fee is a super low 0.5% on top of the real exchange rate.
