It appears there might be a misunderstanding or a need for clarification regarding PayPal usage in Bangladesh. As of my last update, PayPal does not officially offer receiving payments in Bangladesh. While Bangladeshi users can send payments via PayPal, they cannot directly receive funds into their PayPal accounts. This is a crucial point to understand before proceeding with any steps.
However, if your intention is to send money from Bangladesh using PayPal to someone who can receive it (in a country where PayPal receiving is supported), then the following guide outlines the process. Please be aware that this guide focuses on sending money, not receiving it.
Let's begin!
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
Have you already created a PayPal account? If not, that's our very first step!
How to Send PayPal Payments from Bangladesh (Assuming You Have an Account)
This guide assumes you have already successfully created and linked a funding source (like a credit or debit card) to your PayPal account. If you haven't done this yet, please refer to PayPal's official website for instructions on account creation and linking a payment method.

| How To Pay Paypal From Bangladesh |
Step 1: Logging into Your PayPal Account
This is the most basic yet essential step.
1.1 Open Your Web Browser or the PayPal App
- Using a Web Browser: Open your preferred web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari) on your computer or mobile device.
- Using the PayPal App: If you have the PayPal mobile app installed on your smartphone or tablet, open it.
1.2 Navigate to the PayPal Website or Open the App
- Web Browser: In the address bar of your browser, type in the official PayPal website address: ***
www.paypal.com - PayPal App: Simply tap the PayPal app icon on your device to launch it.
1.3 Enter Your Login Credentials
- You will see fields for your email address (or mobile number associated with your account) and your password.
- Carefully enter your registered email address or mobile number in the designated field.
- Then, accurately type in your PayPal account password. Remember that passwords are case-sensitive.
1.4 Click "Log In" or "Sign In"
- Web Browser: Once you have entered your credentials, click the "Log In" or "Sign In" button.
- PayPal App: Tap the "Log In" or "Sign In" button on the app interface.
1.5 Two-Factor Authentication (If Enabled)
- If you have enabled two-factor authentication for your PayPal account (which is highly recommended for security), you might be prompted to enter a one-time code sent to your registered mobile number or generated by an authenticator app. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete this step.
Once you have successfully logged in, you will be directed to your PayPal account summary page.
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
Step 2: Initiating a Payment
Now that you are logged in, let's proceed with sending a payment.
2.1 Locate the "Send & Request" or Similar Option
- On your PayPal account summary page (both on the web browser and the app), look for an option that says something like "Send & Request," "Send Money," or a similar phrase. The exact wording might vary slightly depending on updates to the PayPal interface.
- Click or tap on this option.
2.2 Choose the "Send" Option
- You will likely see two main options: "Send" and "Request." Since you want to send money, make sure you select the "Send" option.
2.3 Enter the Recipient's Details
PayPal needs to know who you want to send the money to. You can usually identify the recipient in a few ways:
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
 |
-
Email Address: This is the most common way. Enter the recipient's registered PayPal email address.
-
Mobile Number: If the recipient has linked their mobile number to their PayPal account, you might be able to use that.
-
Name (in some cases): PayPal might allow you to search for a user by their name, but this is less reliable as multiple people might have the same name. It's always best to use their email address.
-
Carefully type in the recipient's email address or other identifying information in the designated field. Double-check for any typos to avoid sending money to the wrong person.
2.4 Enter the Amount You Want to Send
- You will see a field where you need to enter the amount of money you wish to send.
- Type in the numerical value of the amount.
- Select the currency you want to send in from the dropdown menu (if available). Ensure you select the correct currency that the recipient expects or that you are comfortable with. Be aware of potential conversion fees if you send in a currency different from the recipient's default currency.
Step 3: Reviewing and Confirming Your Payment
Before the money is sent, PayPal will give you a chance to review the details. This is a crucial step to avoid errors.
3.1 Review the Recipient's Details
- Make sure the recipient's email address (or other identifying information) is correct. Verify it against any information the recipient has provided to you.
3.2 Review the Payment Amount and Currency
- Double-check that the amount you entered is accurate and that the selected currency is correct.
3.3 Review the Funding Source
- PayPal will show you the funding source that will be used for this payment (e.g., your linked credit card, debit card, or any PayPal balance you might have – although this is unlikely for receiving-restricted accounts in Bangladesh). Ensure that the correct funding source is selected and that you have sufficient funds or credit available.
3.4 Add a Note (Optional)
- There might be an option to add a note to the recipient. This can be useful for identifying the purpose of the payment. This note will be visible to the recipient.
3.5 Click "Send Now" or "Continue"
- Once you have reviewed all the details and are sure everything is correct, click the "Send Now," "Continue," or a similar button to finalize the payment.
Step 4: Payment Confirmation
After you click "Send Now," PayPal will process the transaction.
4.1 Confirmation Message
- You should see a confirmation message on your screen indicating that the payment has been sent successfully. PayPal might also send you a confirmation email to your registered email address.
4.2 Transaction History
- The transaction will be recorded in your PayPal account's transaction history. You can usually access this history from your account summary page. It's a good idea to check your transaction history to ensure the payment went through as expected.
Important Considerations for Sending Money from Bangladesh via PayPal:
- Funding Sources: Ensure you have a valid credit or debit card linked to your PayPal account with sufficient funds or available credit for the transaction.
- Fees: Be aware that PayPal may charge fees for sending money, especially for international transactions or when using certain funding sources. The fees will usually be displayed before you confirm the payment.
- Currency Conversion: If you are sending money in a currency different from your card's currency or the recipient's receiving currency, PayPal might perform a currency conversion, which could involve additional fees and exchange rates.
- Recipient's Account: The recipient must have a PayPal account that is capable of receiving funds in their country.
- Security: Always be cautious of phishing attempts. Never share your PayPal login details with anyone and ensure you are on the official PayPal website or using the official app.
