How to activate PayPal on your Protx account

STEP 1

Create a PayPal Express Business account


(i) You can sign up at the following link: www.PayPal.co.uk/protx

Verify your PayPal account


(ii) To get Verified, PayPal asks you to provide your debit or credit card or bank or funding details. They then make sure that you are in control of your bank account or card, which helps to prevent fraud such as identity theft. Verification also enables you to:
  • Send and receive as many PayPal payments as you like
  • Easily withdraw more money from your PayPal account to your bank account
