What is PayPal Credit?
PayPal Credit is a revolving credit line issued by Synchrony Bank that allows you to make purchases at millions of stores that accept PayPal. It allows shoppers to choose a multi-month payment plan instead of paying for an entire purchase upfront. If you’re approved for PayPal Credit, you’ll have a minimum credit limit of at least $250.
What do I need to get approved for a PayPal Credit account?
There’s no guarantee that you will be approved for a credit card, regardless of how high your credit score is. Your credit score is probably the most important factor when considering your credit application. However, PayPal also considers other factors such as your income, debt, and any negative items on your credit report.
How to Increase Your Chances of Getting Approved for PayPal Credit
Getting approved for a PayPal Credit account requires a little planning. When applying for new credit, it’s essential to know your credit scores and what’s on your credit reports.
PayPal wants to see a strong credit history, steady income, and low credit utilization. If you’re using too much of your existing revolving credit, it’s a sign that you may not pay them back. You’ll also want to make sure you haven’t applied for too much credit in the recent past. Having too many credit inquiries can lessen your chances of getting approved.
