Title: Funding Wallet via PayPal Post by: compiler4422 on June 04, 2023, 04:14:25 AM I want to fund my Exodus Wallet. I USED to go from my bank to COINBASE (CB) to EXODUS. But now CB uses
PLAID and I'm just wary of giving PLAID my bank online credentials (so I guess one question: is my concern unwarranted?) Note: I live in the USA. Also, we are talking about small amounts of funds that would be in Exodus only briefly As an alternative: I can buy BTC in my PayPal account. Can I then xfer funds to Coinbase or even better directly to Exodus using their generated BTC address? Looking for someone who has actually DONE IT. Any issues?

Does Coinbase have access to my bank account credentials if I link via Plaid? No, Coinbase does not have access to your bank account credentials (username or password) and will NEVER ask for this information. As an alternative: I can buy BTC in my PayPal account. Yes you can buy BTC through PayPal and directly transfer to your Exodus wallet, no need to send to Coinbase because there's no benefit and just add more fees.Can I then xfer funds to Coinbase or even better directly to Exodus using their generated BTC address? Looking for someone who has actually DONE IT. Any issues? But I see you're want to protect your privacy and trying to become long term holder. I suggest to use other no KYC exchange e.g. Bisq or Agoradesk and you should use better wallet which is non custodial and open source e.g. Electrum, Bluewallet etc. Exodus isn't a good wallet due to closed source. Consider to use hardware wallet too, but don't use ledger because there's a recent serious accusation against them.

Perhaps. If you're not familiar with them or you don't think they can properly secure your bank credentials then all the more that you should avoid. Limit giving out personal information as much as possible.There should be no problem transferring funds from Paypal to external wallets like Exodus since they already have that feature available for users in the US. Not sure if those from Hawaii are still not allowed.

The data collected from your financial accounts includes information from all accounts (e.g., checking, savings, and credit card) accessible through a single set of account credentials.

I have no worries about Plaid, let’s be honest our KYC is everywhere these days with all the exchanges we use. It’s up to you but Paypal are just as likely to sell your info to companies as Plaid.
