How long does it take to apply for or receive PayPal Credit?
The application form takes minutes to complete. PayPal will then run a credit check and if approved, you'll have a credit limit linked to your PayPal account once you've accepted your credit agreement. This approval process will only take a few seconds and then you're ready to go. There can be a time lag between approval and when you can view your PayPal Credit account online but this should update within a few days.
