Want to use your Timon USD VISA card with PayPal? Here’s how to link it in a few simple steps so you can start making international payments for tools, subscriptions, and more.


What You’ll Need:

  • A verified PayPal account

  • Your Timon USD VISA card

  • At least $2 on the card for verification

  • The billing address you used when creating your Timon card

Steps to Link Your Timon Card:

  1. Log in to your PayPal account.

  2. Go to the Wallet section.

  3. Click “Link a debit or credit card.”

  4. Enter your Timon USD Visa card number, expiry date, and CVV.

  5. Provide your billing address.

    💡 Already have a linked card with the same billing address?
    There is no need to enter it again.

  6. Submit the form. PayPal will place a temporary charge (around $1.25) to verify your card.

What Happens After You Add Your Card?

Depending on your account, one of the following will happen:

- You’re Asked for a 4-Digit Code

  • Open the Timon app, go to Transactions

  • Find the PayPal charge and copy the 4-digit code

  • Return to PayPal to confirm your card with that code

- No Code Requested

  • The $1.25 is refunded instantly

  • Your card is automatically verified and ready to use

Either outcome means your card is successfully linked and usable.

What You Can Do After Linking

  • Pay for subscriptions like Netflix, Canva, and ChatGPT

  • Shop on sites like AliExpress and Amazon

  • Enjoy safer transactions using PayPal as a middle layer

⚠️ Please Note:

PayPal accounts registered in Nigeria can send and spend but cannot receive or withdraw funds. You can:

  • Pay with your Timon card

  • Not withdraw PayPal funds into your card or account

Having Issues?

If your card doesn’t link:

  • Make sure the billing address matches

  • Ensure you have at least $2 on the card

  • Retry after a few minutes

  • Contact Timon Support if needed: Chat with us directly in the app or email help@usetimon.com.
