Linking your FNB (First National Bank) account to PayPal allows you to send and receive international payments seamlessly. Since FNB is the official PayPal banking partner in South Africa, it provides a secure and efficient way to withdraw PayPal funds directly into your bank account. To complete this process, you need an FNB Online Banking profile and a verified PayPal account. Here is how to link FNB account to PayPal.
- Create a PayPal Account
Before linking your FNB account, you must have a verified PayPal account.
- Go to the PayPal website (www.paypal.com) or download the PayPal mobile app
- Click on Sign Up and choose either a Personal or Business account
- Enter your details, including name, email, and password
- Verify your email by clicking the confirmation link sent to your inbox
- Add your FNB bank card or credit card to PayPal for making payments
Once your PayPal account is set up, you can proceed with linking it to FNB.

To withdraw money from PayPal, you need an FNB Online Banking profile, even if you bank with another institution.
