I have just learned that it is now possible to add your PayPal account to your Curve card account, which allows you to spend your PayPal balance anywhere !
Why would anyone even keep a balance in a PayPal account?

Oh yeh! good question! - I dunno
It's free to withdraw so absolutely no reason to keep it in PayPal !
I think it's killer feature could be that you can use PayPal credit to purchase something on the high street.
Then you can pay in 3 interest free, or over 12 months if over £99 I think?
Pretty sure that is not an option. You can use PayPal balance, linked bank or MasterCard.
Thanks
Personally, I don't see any benefit, it's free to withdraw money from your PayPal to your bank account 🤷🏻♂️
What is a curve card account? Never heard of it. Is it free? Do I need to get one?

It is a card which you link other cards to and activate which card you wish to use at any time. So you never pass on the card details of the card used (only the Curve card details), and you only need a card active when you want to use it (so can leave them all turned off at all other times).
Yes it's free
*also - it has a feature called "Go Back in Time" which allows you to change a past transaction to a different card (last 30 days as Standard) (edited)
