Money in your PayPal account is transferable to your Western Union debit card. Once you submit a transfer to PayPal, it usually takes up to three to four days before the money is available on your debit card. Before setting up a transfer, you must establish a link between the two accounts. The process to establish a link can take several days depending on several factors including how quickly deposits are processed by Western Union.

Step 1

Log into your online PayPal account and click "Profile" in the top menu.

Step 2

Click "Add or Edit Bank Account," then click "Add Bank."

Step 3

Click "Checking" and enter your Western Union account information. You are required to enter Western Union's routing number and your account number.

Step 4

Click "Continue" and review the information you entered. If it is correct, click "Submit." PayPal will make two deposits to the Western Union account within two to three days.

Step 5

Log into your online Western Union account after the three-day period and record the amount of the two PayPal deposits.

Step 6

Access your PayPal account again and click "Confirm Bank Account." The link is located in the Notifications panel on the right.
