Poor service / payment standards and website.

Cant get to speak to a real person when wanting to know about a payment. Important point you try to save money on staff costs BUT the bot based assistance was frankly as much as an outside toilet on a spacecraft. Didn't get close to answering my query and just gave a list of common FAQs and hoped my query was covered -- which it was certainly not. Payments [one-off and regular DDs] take ages to come through onto my bank statement -- up to 5 days???? -- in these days of real time settlement/faster payments that is not good enough i'm afraid - put me into a temporary overdraft position on my bank account -- as waiting so long for payment to process -- which i corrected same day so no loss. Come on Paypal there is also so much that could be better on the website -- that words fail me completely. You need to get some proper website developers on board to revamp your website pretty quickly -- feels like a website from the dark ages to be frank. I think the concept of Paypal Credit is a good one -- but execution is very poor across the board. Come on guys -- Paypal is a big well known organisation -- with massive resources to hand -- you should be better than this I'm afraid. And also you need to review interaction with the credit agencies to make sure one off payments made against a Paypal credit account are reflected timeously -- maybe i was just unlucky -- but there should now be daily payment files going across to all three credit ref agencies -- has someone within Credit team looked at this within Paypal??? You are a regulated organisation???? Slow again -- potentially affecting customers credit scores etc. Anyway that's a starter for 10 -- i guess no-one ever bothers to look at these feedbacks within Paypal -- just a guess because the rest of the processes seem so cumbersome and old fashioned for a modern day financial organisation.

I’ve had a very positive experience using PayPal Credit. The application process was quick and straightforward, and I appreciate how easy it is to manage payments through the PayPal app and website. The flexibility to spread out payments has been extremely helpful, especially for larger purchases. Customer service has also been reliable whenever I’ve had questions, and the payment reminders help me stay on track. Transactions are processed smoothly, and I feel secure using the service for online shopping. Overall, PayPal Credit has been a convenient and dependable financial tool that I would recommend to others looking for flexible payment options. Reviewed on: 6th May 2026
