Silly Q but can you pay PayPal funds into a savings account?

Title says it all really, my sister wants to know as she is thinking of opening a saving a/c with Natwest can she transfer funds from PayPal and other account. Have looked on NW website but it doesn't say. Thanks! :money:

    I dont think so. She will have to have the paypal payments put into her current account first and them withdraw them to go into her savings account.

    I transfer from Paypal to a Savings Account.

    It may depend how the Paypal account is set up - for example, if you fund it through a current account ?

    You can fund PP thru your balance, any card on there or any bank account on there. Just wondered if you can add a savings account to PP. Will ask Natwest.

    The one I transfer my Paypal funds to is Cahoot.
    I didn't even think about it, just added it.

    I can't see as it should be a problem.

    As long as the account has a sort code and account number then there shouldnt really be a problem with putting the paypal funds directly into a savings a/c. Out of interest though - why Natwest? There are many much better accounts on the high street!
