What is PayPal Credit?

PayPal Credit is like a credit card, without the plastic. It’s a credit limit that sits alongside your PayPal account which you can use for your online purchases.

How do I apply?

Applying for PayPal Credit is easy. Just click on the PayPal Credit button on our checkout page.

The application form takes minutes to complete. PayPal will then run a credit check and, if approved, you’ll have a credit limit linked to your PayPal account as soon as you accept your Credit Agreement.

You can use the credit limit granted to pay for today's purchase and future purchases at thousands of online stores where PayPal is accepted, up to your credit limit.

Before you apply, please make sure you:

Are a UK resident aged 18 years or older

Have a good credit history

Have not recently been declared bankrupt

Be employed and have an income greater than £7,500 per year
