It seems there might be a misunderstanding in your request. AIB (Allied Irish Banks) and PayPal are generally separate financial entities and direct money transfers between them are not a standard or directly supported feature.
However, don't worry! There are still several ways you can effectively move money from your AIB account to your PayPal account. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the common methods, step by step.
Let's start with the most common and generally recommended method. Do you have a debit or credit card linked to your AIB account? If so, you're already one step closer!
Step 1: Linking Your AIB Card to Your PayPal Account
This is the foundational step that allows PayPal to draw funds from your AIB account indirectly.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
1.1 Accessing Your PayPal Account
- First and foremost, open your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) on your computer or mobile device.
- Navigate to the official PayPal website: ***
www.paypal.com - Log in to your PayPal account using your registered email address and password. If you don't have a PayPal account yet, you'll need to sign up for one. The signup process is usually straightforward, requiring your personal details and contact information.
1.2 Navigating to the 'Wallet' or 'Linked Accounts' Section
- Once you are logged in, look for a section typically labeled "Wallet," "Banks and Cards," or "Linked Accounts." The exact wording might vary slightly depending on updates to the PayPal interface, but it's usually located in the main navigation menu or within your account settings.
- Click on this section to proceed.
1.3 Linking a New Card
- Within the 'Wallet' or 'Linked Accounts' section, you should see options to link a bank account or a card.
- Look for an option like "Link a card" or "Add a new card."
- Click on this option.
1.4 Entering Your AIB Card Details
- You will now be prompted to enter your card details. Make sure you have your AIB debit or credit card handy. You will typically need to provide the following information:
- Card Number: This is the long number (usually 16 digits) on the front of your card.
- Expiry Date: This is usually located on the front of your card as well, indicating the month and year your card expires.
- CVV/CVC: This is the three-digit security code (sometimes four digits for American Express) usually found on the back of your card.
- Card Type: PayPal should automatically detect the card type (Visa, Mastercard, etc.), but you might need to select it manually in some cases.
- Billing Address: Ensure the billing address you enter matches the address associated with your AIB card.
1.5 Saving Your Card Information
- After carefully entering all the required details, double-check for any errors. Incorrect information can lead to your card being rejected.
- Once you are sure the information is correct, **click on the "Save," "Link Card," or "Add Card" button.
1.6 Card Verification (If Required)
- In some cases, PayPal might require you to verify your card. This could involve:
- A small temporary charge: PayPal might place a small, temporary charge (e.g., €1) on your AIB card. This charge will usually be refunded within a few days. You might need to check your online AIB statement for a specific code associated with this transaction and enter it into your PayPal account to confirm the card.
- SMS or email verification: You might receive a verification code via SMS to your registered mobile number or an email to your registered email address. Follow the instructions provided by PayPal to complete the verification process.
Once your AIB card is successfully linked and verified (if necessary), you can proceed to send money using this linked card.

Step 2: Sending Money via PayPal Using Your Linked AIB Card
Now that your AIB card is linked, you can use it as a funding source for your PayPal payments.
2.1 Initiating a Payment
- Log in to your PayPal account again.
- Click on the "Send & Request" button, which is usually located in the top navigation menu.
- Select the "Send" option.
2.2 Entering Recipient Details
- You will be prompted to enter the recipient's email address, mobile number, or name (if they are in your PayPal contacts).
- Carefully enter the correct recipient details to ensure the money goes to the intended person.
2.3 Specifying the Amount and Currency
- Enter the amount of money you wish to send.
- Select the currency you want to send the money in. Be mindful of potential currency conversion fees if you are sending money in a different currency than your card's default currency.
2.4 Choosing Your Funding Source
- Before you finalize the payment, PayPal will show you the available funding sources linked to your account.
- Select your linked AIB card as the funding source for this transaction. You might see your card details displayed (e.g., the last four digits of the card number).
2.5 Adding a Note (Optional)
- You can add a brief note or description to the payment, which will be visible to the recipient. This is often useful for identifying the purpose of the payment.
2.6 Reviewing and Confirming the Payment
- Carefully review all the details of the payment, including the recipient's information, the amount, the currency, and the selected funding source (your AIB card).
- Pay attention to any fees that might be associated with the transaction. PayPal typically charges fees for certain types of transactions, especially international payments or payments funded by credit cards.
- If everything looks correct, **click on the "Send Now," "Continue," or "Confirm Payment" button to complete the transaction.
2.7 Payment Confirmation
- Once the payment is successful, you will usually see a confirmation message on your screen, and you will likely receive an email notification from PayPal confirming the transaction details.
- The recipient will also receive a notification that they have received a payment.
- The funds will be deducted from your AIB card balance (this might take a short processing time depending on AIB's and PayPal's policies).
Alternative Methods (Less Direct)
While linking your card is the most straightforward way, here are a couple of less direct alternatives you might consider:
QuickTip: Absorb ideas one at a time.
Method 1: Using a Bank Transfer to Fund Your PayPal Balance (If Available)
- In some regions, PayPal allows users to directly add funds to their PayPal balance via a bank transfer.
- Check if this option is available in your PayPal account. Navigate to the 'Wallet' or 'Linked Accounts' section and look for an option like "Add funds to your balance" or "Top up your account."
- If this option is available, PayPal will provide you with their bank details (which might be in a different country). You would then need to initiate a bank transfer from your AIB account to these PayPal bank details through your AIB online banking or by visiting an AIB branch.
- Important Considerations:
- This method can sometimes take longer for the funds to appear in your PayPal balance.
- AIB might charge fees for international bank transfers.
- Ensure you use the exact reference information provided by PayPal to ensure the funds are correctly credited to your account.
- This feature is not universally available and might not be an option for AIB users in Ireland.
Method 2: Using Third-Party Services (Use with Caution)
- There are various third-party online platforms that facilitate money transfers between bank accounts and PayPal.
- Exercise extreme caution when using such services. Research their reputation, read reviews, and understand their fees and security measures thoroughly before entrusting them with your funds.
- These services typically work by you sending money from your AIB account to the third-party platform, and then they, in turn, send the money to your PayPal account (or directly to the recipient's bank account linked to their PayPal).
- Potential drawbacks: Higher fees, longer processing times, and security risks if you choose an unreliable platform.
Important Considerations and Tips
- Fees: Be aware of potential fees charged by PayPal for certain types of transactions, especially international transfers or those funded by credit cards. AIB might also have fees for certain card transactions or international transfers. Always review the fees before confirming a payment.
- Currency Conversion: If you are sending money in a currency different from your AIB card's default currency or the recipient's PayPal currency, PayPal will likely perform a currency conversion, which might involve additional fees and exchange rates that are not always the most favorable.
- Transaction Limits: PayPal and AIB might have transaction limits for security reasons. Be aware of these limits, especially if you are sending a large amount of money.
- Security: Always ensure you are using secure internet connections when accessing your online banking and PayPal accounts. Be cautious of phishing scams and never share your login details with anyone.
- PayPal Balance vs. Direct Card Payment: When you link your card, you are essentially authorizing PayPal to draw funds directly from your card when you make a payment. You don't necessarily need to "add funds" to your PayPal balance first (unless you choose the bank transfer method, if available).
- Check PayPal's Help Center: PayPal's official help center is an excellent resource for the most up-to-date information and specific instructions related to your region.
