For me, PayPal is the best way to review my account.

For me, PayPal is the best way to review my account and see how much I’ve spent and when; it’s also very important for spotting those providers that sign you up for a subscription without your consent. Reviewed on: 8th July 2026

Simple and Safe for online purchases

Have been a PayPal customer for over ten years and would recommend it to anyone who buys goods online . Kit is so easy to use and secure and paying in three instalments helps when buying more expensive items. Reviewed on: 8th July 2026

I have used PayPal for years.

I have used PayPal for years. Great quick effective way to pay for goods with the protection you need. Quick payments as they have your details. Easy to spread payments over 3 months interest free. Security when you happen to pay someone who is not legitimate. PayPal helps you to resolve abd you get your money back. Reviewed on: 8th July 2026

A Reliable and Hassle-Free Way to Manage Payments

5
PayPal has been brilliant for me. It's incredibly easy to use and just works, so I've never needed to contact customer service—which says a lot about how reliable it is. I like having multiple payment options in one place, and being able to connect all my bank accounts and cards makes managing my money simple and convenient. Everything feels smooth, secure and hassle-free. I'd happily recommend it. Reviewed on: 8th July 2026

Convenient Features, but Still Too Many Frustrations

4
The system still has quite a few shortcomings, particularly in the UK. Adding funds directly to PayPal can be difficult, and sending or receiving money can sometimes take longer than expected or even be placed under further review, despite having used the service for many years. The PayPal Plus programme is a bit of a mixed bag. While it’s interesting to progress through the different tiers, doing so essentially requires you to make most of your purchases with PayPal. Even then, the rewards don’t feel especially worthwhile. That said, I really like the ability to instantly back the PayPal card with any linked bank account, which makes it very convenient to use.

Convenience and Perks!

5
I particularly like the pay-in-three option without interest or effect on credit scores - very convenient. I also use the Paypal debit card very frequently - the points on use are a nice bonus! Reviewed on: 8th July 2026
