It is now possible to link your PayPal account to a debit card. This is what’s known as the PayPal Business Debit MasterCard or PayPal Cash Card. The card is mostly given to people who own businesses. It is not possible to use this card before you activate it. Once the card is activated and is working properly, you will be able to use it for any of the following:

• Get instant access to your PayPal account in the US.
• Check the account balance or make withdrawals from your PayPal account through Maestro or Cirrus ATMs.
• Make payments directly from your PayPal account anywhere there is a MasterCard or Visa logo.
• Get 1 percent cash back on certain purchases as long as you have signed up for a cash back program.
