When I’m trying to add a bank account it says I must enter my name the same way it’s on my account. Paypal locks last name, and I can only edit first name. They are okay, but in the wrong order. In Hungary we use a system of lastname firstname. Like Doe John. And when I’m at the confirm page my name is is the wrong order. The support couldn’t really help. I don’t know if this is a problem, but somebody else must have had it before, so?

Well at registration paypal asked my first name, I entered Peter. For last name Balvanyos. Because they are my firstname and lastname. I didn’t know at the time that the system is weird and it would want to use US name order for a hungarian bank account name.

It sounds stupid to enter Balvanyos to first name and Peter to last name.

Hi Péter, what happened in the end? I’m facing the same problem, and not sure what to do.

Thanks, druszád :)

I asked the support to switch the first and lastname. I was able to successfully withdraw to otp bank and magnet bank, so it’s working.
