Use PayPal Anywhere

PayPal acts as any of your payment cards in your digital wallet - just sign into your PayPal account via the Curve app and you're ready to start spending!

To get set up, you'll first need a bank account, or eligible payment card attached to your PayPal wallet (AMEX and VISA cards are not eligible). Then you'll be able to switch between paying with your PayPal balance, bank or any of these cards at any time from the PayPal app. You can find the steps to add your account here.

You'll also be able to pay using Curve Pay, a physical Curve Pay card and your smartphone's digital wallets (e.g. Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay).

PayPal has the same functionality as all your other payment cards, such as moving transactions and the ability to keep earning rewards. There are some exceptions. Your PayPal account cannot be used through Curve Pay for:

• ATM withdrawals 
• Transactions that fall under the MCC 6012 (Financial institutions and credit repayments)
• Transactions that fall under the MCC 7995 (Betting, wagering, lottery, gambling tickets or chips)
• Transactions that fall under the MCC 6504 (POI funding transactions)
• Transactions that fall under the MCC 6051 (Quasi cash)
• P2P payments e.g. monzo.me, paypal.me
• Making PayPal Credit or PayPal "Pay in 3" repayments

PayPal is only available to customers with UK PayPal accounts but can be used in any Curve Pay region. 

You'll be able to continue earning your credit card rewards on eligible purchases when you checkout using Curve with PayPal selected in-app*. If you're on a premium Curve tier you can even get extra rewards 🤑

When making transactions using your PayPal account through Curve, you are not covered by PayPal's Buyer Protection Program. Rest assured however that you'll be covered by Curve Customer Protection instead! 

Pay in 3 is also not available through Curve as it requires PayPal to be selected at checkout.
