( paypal ) Transfer From Debit Card to Bank account ?

Is it possible ?

I'm asking because I have just setup a new bank account with monzo and have to wait untill the end of the month for my money to come in.
However, i have another debit card linked to my paypal account with money on ( and want to transfer a little bit of this money to my new account )

Thanks :j:beer:

    Paypal doesn't allow for debit or credit card topups to paypal account. Why not use the bank who the debit card is linked to paypal to send money to your monzo account? Why go through paypal....

    Just a thought here - never tried it personally...

    Set up a second Paypal account with a different email address and link it to your Monzo card. Then send a money request from your Monzo Paypal account to your debit card Paypal account and send the money that way.

    Paypal don't allow this. This is one way of getting your account limited as they will think its fraud or unusual activity.

    You can 'top up' your Monzo account directly by debit card without fee, although they encourage you not to because of the cost for them.

    On the 'Add money' screen, tap the card icon top right (android}.

    The account with money on it doesn't allow for online banking or sending transfers, just purchases from the internet and ATMs

    So just to confirm, its not possible to withdraw from my card to the paypal balance, then from the paypal balance to my other account ?

    Nope.... Not possible with paypal. Could try using Skrill. They allow this type of action.
