The PayPal Debit Mastercard® is issued by The Bancorp Bank, N.A. ("Bancorp") pursuant to a license by Mastercard International Incorporated and may be used everywhere Mastercard is accepted. Mastercard and the circles design are registered trademarks of Mastercard International Incorporated. Bancorp is issuer of the Card only and not responsible for the associated accounts or other products, services, or offers from PayPal. PayPal is a financial technology company, not a bank. The Card is linked to your PayPal Balance Terms and Conditions. If you have opened a PayPal Debit Card Mastercard® account, enrolled in Direct Deposit, or bought or received cryptocurrency with your personal PayPal Balance account, we will place your U.S. dollar PayPal Balance funds in one or more Program Banks, where they will, subject to certain conditions, be eligible for pass-through FDIC insurance, up to applicable limits. FDIC insurance protects you against the failure of a Program Bank, not the failure of PayPal. PayPal is not a bank, does not take deposits and is not FDIC insured. Any other balance funds and all cryptocurrencies are not held in FDIC-insured bank deposits. Cryptocurrencies may lose value. See PayPal Balance Terms and Conditions.

We may also ask to see a copy of your driver’s license or other identifying documents. Terms apply. See Cardholder Agreement for details.
