Never had that request either but I did have my bank account attached once a few years ago. One month a had an issue, some payments where being drawing out my account multiple times and it was a HUGE issue to sort out so I've since disconnected the account. The bank was literally no help at all in the matter, they won't typically take care of these issues like your CC company will. Plus with paypal issues you usually have to deal with them directly which usually isn't easy.

I've been paying with my bank account for over 8 years. Never a problem.

Now you can even defer the payment until you receive the product

This is my one issue I ever had with paypal that made me pull my bank account from them. I was told too that my money would not be withdrawn until I received the product so rather than transferring in the cash from my chequing account into my bank account for paypal right away I waited until the next day. Low and behold I found I had a negative balance in my account because paypal withdrew the money immediately so my bank charged me a small fee for this. After talking to a couple fake managers and finally getting a real one they reimbursed me the bank fee and removed my bank account from paypal. This all happened when they first started this deferred payment stuff and I'm sure they have it down pat by now and the idea is well meaning enough.

I used Paypal for hundreds of thousands of transactions, it is attached to my business account. Never any issues. I wouldn't be worried about anything happening to it. As suggested, just open up a different bank account and use that for Paypal. Easy

In life protect yourself rather than assuming. Never know what will happen.

Don't forget EMTs, assuming you're talking about Interact, only serve the major BANKS. They do not have an interface for credit unions or the non-big five. EMTs aren't a solution/alternative if you don't already use a large bank.

I use Aldergrove credit union here in Langley for EMT's, most credit unions offer the service.
