PayPal allows us to change the name on our personal account. However, please note that we cannot change names with other people’s names. We are only allowed to make minor changes to the name on our PayPal account.
One of the reasons for the need to change the name on the PayPal account is the incompatibility of the PayPal name with the name at the local bank.
As we know, to make cash withdrawals (withdrawals) to a local bank, the name on the PayPal account must match the name on the bank account. There cannot be a single letter difference 😉
Well, maybe at first we didn’t care about the name on PayPal. Or maybe we are having a hard time filling in our first and last names because we only have one single name. There may also be a change in name that is deemed necessary.
