Perform the verification according to the on-screen instructions. To verify your US account, you must take two or three steps:

Provide both bank account links and routing numbers; if fast connection doesn’t show up, verify small deposit PayPal will do in 2-3 business days.
Provide and connect your debit or credit card number, with expiration date, billing address, and card’s security code, and then verify the code in the transaction description that PayPal will execute in 1 -2 working days; or
Provide a social security number.
Verification requirements vary from country to country. Follow the on-screen instructions for verification to see what you need to do when verifying your account.
