    cool got all that but what about the Branch Location? I am told they dont have number ID's only a branch address.

    it is the only thing holding me back from getting my account onto the paypal system


    thanks for the help!

    Another question, how do you request the money from Paypal to send to your bank account? Do you have to go through the "Request Money" Process?

    My card number is: 123-4-567890, so do I enter '4-567890' as my bank account number or just '567890'

    I'm not 100% sure, but my guess would be 4567890. The 123 is the branch number.

    Just came to HK. How come most HSBC cards are xxx-xxxxxx-xxx. While my one only have xxx-x-xxxxxx. Have I applied the incorrect card to be used for a PayPal account?
