Important PayPal news for Australian Business account holders
Some Business account holders have recently received, or might soon receive a request to validate your Business account information in accordance with Australian Anti-Money Laundering laws.
Under the new law, once your account reaches a certain transaction level (as determined by the Australian authorities), we are legally required to prevent you from making payments and withdrawing funds until we have verified your business account details, however you can still receive payments.
It is important that if and when you receive such a request for information that you respond within 45 days.
If you do not respond within 45 days, the law requires us to place a full limitation on your account and you will not be able to make payments, withdraw funds or receive funds.
