How To Easily Link PayPal To KCB/Co-op Bank In Kenya [2022]

PayPal is one of the most widely used international money transfer platform in Kenya especially for online freelancers. This is due to its ease of integration with the M-Pesa platform whereby one can withdraw and top-up funds via M-Pesa.

However, Paypal imposes certain limitations whenever an account reaches a certain limit thus in-order to avoid such, one needs to verify the paypal account.

To do so, one is required to link either a debit/credit card or bank account.

Unfortunately, only U.S bank accounts can be linked to Paypal.

Below, we will show you how to link a Kenyan bank account to Paypal in 2 easy steps and use it to withdraw funds from a limited Paypal account in Kenya.
