Quick, easy, and convenient way to pay, request, and/or transfer funds domestically or world-wide! There's no logical reason not to have a free PayPal card mailed to you at no cost in the event of a last-minute emergency. Gey the card, link your external bank to your PayPal account, and make a transfer of any amount for that unexpected situation where your primary debit card gets lost, stolen, or simply malfunctions and you need a card to make purchases. It's absolutely logical and wise.

The app has gone through many iterations this last one is flawed. Biometric login no longer works. It consistently forgets my device and forces text verification even if I click "remember" device. This happens on cellular and wifi networks. It has become slow and clunky. Sometimes, not even opening paypal prepaid instead opening my paypal account only. Disappointed.

I've been with paypal prepaid for many years. For the most part, the app has been pretty reliable. Unfortunately, this new update is kinda bugging out and I can't log in. I'm not sure where to report it so I'll leave it here for now. Honestly though, no minimum amount, no overdraft fees. Just a monthly $5 maintenance fee. Can't really beat that.
