  4. Enter your details, which typically include your primary PayPal email address, ID or registration number, and balance of payment reporting details.
  5. Enter your Capitec Bank account details and confirm your postal or residential address.
  6. Click “Continue.” If you’re setting this up for a business profile, you’ll be required to confirm your business details.
  7. You will receive an OTP (One-Time Pin) via SMS on your phone. Enter this OTP in the field provided on your profile and click “Submit.”
  8. The PayPal website will open automatically. If it doesn’t, you can click “PayPal login” on your FNB profile.
  9. Log in to your PayPal profile with your primary email address and password and then click “Continue.”
  10. You’ll be redirected back to your FNB online banking profile, where you’ll see a message confirming the successful completion of your PayPal linking. Click “Finish” at the bottom right.

Once your PayPal and Capitec Bank accounts are successfully linked, you can proceed to transfer or withdraw funds. Keep in mind that FNB may take between two to 24 hours to verify your Capitec account, and you can only transact once this verification process is complete.
