PayPal is one of the world’s most trusted payment platforms and allows users to securely pay for goods and services online or transfer money across the globe. It also lets you set up direct deposits from your Netspend account into your PayPal balance, so you can access your cash without ever having to worry about carrying or losing a card.
How to Get Money Off Netspend Account Without Card?
If you want to get money from a Netspend account without a card, you need to use either PayPal or send money to your friend or relative. Every third-party method (Moneygram, Western Union, etc.) demands that you have a Netspend card.
Steps to withdraw money using PayPal are:
- Log in to your Netspend account at netspend.com.
- Click on the “Transfers” tab at the page’s top.
- Select the “Send Money” option.
- Choose the “Send Money to Another Cardholder” option.
- Enter the recipient’s PayPal email address in the “Recipient Email” field.
- Enter the amount you wish to send.
- Review the details of the transfer, including the fee, if any.
- Click the “Send Money” button.
- Confirm the transfer by entering your Netspend username and password.
- Wait for the transfer to be processed. Depending on the recipient’s bank, this usually takes a few minutes to a few hours.
- Check your PayPal account to ensure that the transfer was successful.
Depending on which type of plan you have with Netspend, there may be limits placed on how much money you can transfer at once; these amounts are usually very reasonable, though, and should rarely cause any issues when making transfers between accounts.
Keep in mind that while sending money directly from a bank account often involves paying a fee for using their service, transferring funds between two linked accounts through PayPal is completely free for personal use – making it one of the fastest (and cheapest) methods for getting quick access to funds stored within a Netspend account without having to rely on a physical card or other forms of payment processing platforms like Western Union or MoneyGram. Additionally, suppose security is paramount for you. In that case, it might be worth noting that all transactions made through PayPal are SSL encrypted – helping protect both accounts against malicious cyber attacks while safeguarding any sensitive information being sent back and forth between them during transactions.
