Digital account will start charging R$ 55 for inactivity; understand

PayPal is a widely known and used payment method around the world, and Brazil is no exception. The service allows several financial functions to be used in a simple way, including receiving and making international transfers. However, many customers have an account open but do not use it, leaving them inactive.

Recently, on October 28th, PayPal stated that it will begin charging accounts that are inactive. Owners of such accounts will need to pay a certain usage charge when taking the account out of inertia to perform any of the services offered by the platform.

How will the charge be made?

Thus, analyzing the statement made on the fintech website, the charge will be made in those accounts that did not have any type of movement in the period of one year, being thus considered inactive. After billing, if the user still does not use the account for anything for 60 days, PayPal will delete it automatically.

It is important to clarify that the charge will only be made if the account is considered inactive has some value available, and if the value is zero, even inactive the account will not be charged. PayPal said the charge for dormant accounts will be €10 – which equates to about of BRL 55 – and, if the account does not have sufficient funds for the payment, the entire balance will be discounted.

How to avoid the charge?

To avoid having your account charged, just make a purchase and use PayPal as a payment method, or even request a withdrawal of the money you have in your account. It is also possible to transfer the balance between accounts, for this, just access the PayPal application or website and go to in “transfer resources”, then enter the desired amount, check the transaction data and click on "transfer". Thus, it is impossible to have the account taxed, thus staying with the amount it had.
