What if I failed to confirm my debit or credit card?

If a “Confirm Card” link appears next to your card details, you’ll need to confirm this debit or credit card before you can use it with PayPal. This step helps to make sure that the card is valid and belongs to you.

If you enter PayPal code incorrectly 5 times, the card is disabled from the PayPal system. You’ll have to contact us to help you reset it. After you re-add this card to your account, you can request PayPal code again to confirm your card.
