There are millions of users around the world who use PayPal account. I have read somewhere that there are many people who keep their money in their PayPal account. Do you think that you would personally try to save your money in your bank account or would you prefer to keep your money in your PayPal account?

Preferably, keep it in the bank for interest. But normally bank will not give interest in a short period of time. The question is how long would you like to keep you money on your PayPal?

If the amount of money in the Paypal account is small of course I will let it be a large amount but not more than $500, and I will transfer it to the bank account, so which one I prefer will depend on the amount of the balance,

If paypal would started working here then I would still prefer my bank account to put money as one strong logic behind this is I didn't listen that your money freezed in xyz bank, but there are so many threads are present regarding this freezing problem associated with paypal.

I prefer to keep my money in the bank than in PayPal. It is because it will take time to have the money if being withdrawn from it.

For me i cant access PayPal, so PayPal is not an option for me, so my only choice at the moment would be to keep it in my local bank account.

I won't pick anyone. If there is no option to hold cryptocurrency, I would dig a ground to put the money. The two options available here doesn't increase the value of my money but rather reduces it.

It's far better to keep money in the bank than online banking apps I just feel like it is hard to trust online banking apps but they banking system has been in existence ever since and has kept our valuables for us

The amount I earned in dollars are kept in PayPal because of the anticipation that exchange rate will still go up. I transfer first the money paid to me in my local currency..

I think PayPal is quite a cool place to store your cash. The most great thing with it is that with the PayPal you can transfer transfer your money without withdrawal charges as for me.

Online payment processors are very reliable avenues for storing money oflate. The physical banks are however draining the savings by charging high; maintenance, transactions fees for our own saved money.

While many banks in my country don't give interest for this type of savings account under $ 3407 unless we transfer it to a deposit account, but anyway I prefer to keep money at the bank in local money which is easy to withdraw via ATM or spend via mobile banking.

Mercosur Paypal service promoted lately a new feature: to automatically transfer the received money to our preferred bank account. I find it easier for Latin American users. When there wasn't this current feature, in any way I never left a single cent in my Paypal account. I find it too dangerous, as a processor can face hacking, easier than an established bank.

When it comes to saving money, I would lean towards keeping it in a traditional bank account rather than relying on Paypal. While Paypal is a widely used and convenient platform for online transactions, there are several factors to consider before deciding where to store your savings.

I don't think anyone would like to keep money in PayPal instead of banks. You don't earn interest on PayPal, sometimes your account can get frozen without any valid reason.
