PayPal error messages when trying to transfer money

You may see an error message on PayPal when trying to transfer money. Here are the most common error messages and what they could mean:

“You’re transferring more than your weekly limit allows. Try a smaller amount.”

To see your minimum/maximum transfer limits and rates, visit our  PayPal Fees page.

“We’re not able to complete this transaction at the moment.”

“We can’t complete this transaction right now.”

There may be a limitation on your PayPal account that prevents the transfer. Remove the limitation  to restore your full account functionality.

Your debit card or bank account may not be eligible to process the instant transfer. Select a different bank or card  that supports instant transfer from PayPal.

The information you entered when linking your bank account doesn’t match what your bank has on file. Double-check your bank details. If the existing information is incorrect, please remove your bank account and link it again.

If the transfer still doesn't go through after you've taken the troubleshooting steps above, you can try these alternative options below to  transfer your money:

• Link an eligible debit card  and try an instant transfer.
• Link a bank account  and try instant or standard transfer.

If you were able to request a transfer but it’s showing up as “Pending”, normally it just needs some additional time to go through  our internal review.
