You can withdraw withdraw money from your PayPal account directly to your First National Bank of South Africa (FNB) or any linked South African bank account. You will need an FNB Online Banking profile.

Your Balance: Both commercial and personal payments you receive go to your pending balance. They belong to you, but you can’t use them or withdraw them usually for 30 days. This is a holding period for new sellers. We’ll review it later when you have a successful selling history with us and then the payments you receive will be added to your available balance.

Note: Mass payments you receive are exempted from holds and they become available immediately.

Your Withdrawals: On the first day of every month, your available balance is transferred automatically to the Visa card or U.S. bank account that you selected. This automatic transfer is free.
