Step 3: Linking Your Payment Method (Optional but Recommended)
While you can initially create a PayPal account without linking a payment method, it's highly recommended to do so to fully utilize its features for sending and receiving payments, and for making purchases.
3.1. Choosing Your Payment Method
PayPal typically allows you to link either a:

Select your preferred method.

Follow the on-screen instructions carefully to enter these details accurately. PayPal may require you to verify your bank account through a small deposit or other methods.
3.3. Entering Your Debit/Credit Card Details (If Applicable)
If you choose to link a debit or credit card, you will need to provide:
- Your Card Number (the long number on the front of your card)
- The Expiration Date (month and year)
- The CVV/CVC Code (the 3-digit or 4-digit security code on the back of your card)

Ensure all the card details are entered correctly. PayPal may charge a small temporary fee to verify your card, which is usually refunded.

Once you have entered your bank or card details, follow the prompts to complete the linking process. PayPal may send you a confirmation email or require you to verify your card or bank through a specific procedure.

Open the email from PayPal and look for a link that says "Confirm Email Address", "Verify Your Email", or something similar. Click on this link.

Stay informed about any updates to PayPal's services in Nepal.
5.3. Enhancing Your Account Security
