Easy, convenient and customer friendly

Have used PayPal credit for a few years now; the information provided is always clear. Reminders are sent to allow time to make payments. It is also extremely helpful to be able to pay off early or use the pay in three option. I think it’s great! Reviewed on: 28th May 2025

Love PayPal - makes my busy life easier.

5
I love being able to pay for loads of things online with my PayPal account because it means I don't need to go and get my bank card - that I rarely have one and then I need tobget my reading glasses to see the card! This means I can order items extremely quickly which is important when life is so busy. I also like the fact that I can quickly choose to pay direct from my current account or use PayPal credit. I've only been late with a payment towards my credit once but was so surprised to see how little I had been charged. From memory, I think this was only around £12. Manybuears ago, I was in debt and struggling, and the chaeges were around 3 times higher than this each time! PayPal interest rates seems fair to me too and the pay in 3 option is very helpful as I usually get things paid off before any interest is applied. The only thing I would change about PayPal is the ability to choose the date when setting up a Direct Debit. I want the date to be just after I'm paid but the system only allows it to be the statement date. However, I have not tried contacting PayPal to see if they can change it. Reviewed on: 28th May 2025

CONVENIENT, EASY TO USE AND ACCEPTED IN MANY OUTLETS

4
As above, it's a fairly simple procedure to select PayPal at many outlets. My only slight criticism is that I find the statements hard to follow as they don't update in 'real time', like my bank account does. I only realised this after I had had issues with a company who said I had received a refund to my PayPal account when I hadn't as I couldn't find it showing up anywhere. I did not contact PayPal's customer services about this so cannot comment further. Reviewed on: 28th May 2025
