Can I transfer money to my debit card?
Yes, you can transfer money from your PayPal Balance to an eligible Visa or Mastercard debit card. When you initiate a transfer to your linked debit card, we’ll send the money to the bank account associated with the card you selected. Transfer speeds depend on which type of transfer you choose.
