I've been to the Billpoint site but can't find an answer.
I have a personal checking account with a debit card accessing the funds.
I had used it for both personal and business expenses. All Billpoint etc. sales income were transfered into the account.
I now have a PayPal card which receives PayPal income and is used for expense payments. I would like to have Billpoint income sent to the PayPal debit card. It would give me an account with all expenses and all but check payments in one account.
Will Billpoint sweep to a debit card instead of a bank account?
I could just make transfers or get a check, make a deposit and make less frequent transfers but making it automatic would be easier and faster.

reston_ray,
If this can be worked out the way you want it wouldn't that be a transfer to your paypal account and then be subject to paypal fees?
I'm not completely familiar with all of Paypal's rules because I stopped using them ages ago, but, I wouldn't want to pay fees on the same money twice!

I don't believe a direct transfer is possible as PayPal is not a bank. I also don't believe that Billpoint will send you a check. What I would suggest is to have Billpoint continue to deposit your funds to your checking account, then fund you PayPal account from your checking account. That would also avoid the fee problem mentioned above. I think the easiest way to accomplish what I think you want (to be able to access PayPal and Billpoint funds from 1 account with a debit card, which is seperate from you personal funds) would be to open a second checking account, get a debit card for it, then have your PayPal and Billpoint funds deposited to that account.
