You’ve signed up for your PayPal account and are a few steps away from faster checkouts. Adding a credit or debit card not only saves you the hassle of looking for your payment details each time you shop, it also better guards your data as you no longer have to type in your financial information on the different websites you check out on.
Moreover, PayPal never shares your full details and monitors for any activity that seems unusual. We’ll send you a receipt for every payment, so you can keep track of your spending.
The best part is that it’s free to use PayPal to pay. You won’t need to pay any fees to enjoy faster and safer checkouts, as well as additional perks such as your card rewards, Buyer Protection and free return shipping for eligible goods*.

Using PayPal doesn’t mean you lose out on card perks. In fact, your account allows you to pick and choose the card that gives you the preferred reward points, miles and cashbacks. All you need to do is link each card once to have the choice of checking out with it when shopping online.
