Are your accounts with two separate banks? Last time I tried to open another account with a separate bank, I got denied because I opened an account within the past year.
- bentcorner 12y agoIt's with the same bank. I got another debit card for it but keep in stored away and never use it.
- ars 12y agoNot the OP but I do the same - two accounts, one for PayPal, and my real one. It's two checking accounts in the same bank. Just call your bank and ask them to make you another account. With my bank I don't even have to call them, I can make one from the account page. By having it in the same bank I can leave the PayPal account always at 0, and transfer the money easily to the other account.
- jacquesm 12y agoMake sure that second account has a flag that says it can not be overdrawn under any circumstances. Banks are not always as smart as they should be and sometimes allow an account of a customer 'in good standing' or with a credit balance on another account to be overdrawn. Especially when it is done via direct debit. This sort of thing can really bite you.
