Paypal help

When signing up for a Paypal account it asks for bank name. Do i put the bank name or my name as it appears in bank statements? I'm a Canadian user if it makes a difference.

The bank name is the name of the bank your account is with.
The Account name is the name the account is under, which is usually your name or your business name.

Thank you I didn't want to hassle myself to change the name with customer service if i messed up.

Yeah, I am in the process of a name change right now with PayPal. I didn't use my full legal name and now I can't get my withdrawal limit lifted. Only $400/month for me. It's been almost two weeks since I have submitted proper documentation and it still hasn't been changed. So, make sure you get everything right the first time around.
