Ratings and reviews

Some things are ridiculously difficult to find such as card management for a business debit card but other things are pretty useful. I wish they would stop shoe horning so much advertising from third party vendors so it's a little easier to find the services I actually use on the mobile app but all in all this program is usually pretty good until there's a stressful situation and I literally can't find what I'm trying to find because it's flippin buried somewhere impractical because promotions.

Please STAY AWAY from PayPal Credit! I used it years ago & never paid interest with promos. It used to be great, but not anymore! They're EXTREMELY PREDATORY, one of the worst lenders I've ever used. Things came up & my balance grew, the interest is insane now & the rate keeps increasing even though I overpay by a lot each month. The interest seems to compound daily too. It is horrible. I'm paying $200/mo & my balance doesn't go down. When this gets paid off, I'll never use them again!

Well I used to be the friend that was suggesting the PayPal debit card or a PayPal account to everyone my friends. Now, I almost have no use for them. If it weren't for the cheap cryptocurrency fees, I wouldn't use them at all anymore. Some of the support agents try to be as helpful as possible, within all of the rules and regulations. But I've been hung up on multiple times when they couldn't explain questionable pending transactions. So users be cautious.
