How to Transfer from PayPal to a Walmart Card

Walmart issues PayPal-compatible MoneyCards.

The Walmart MoneyCard does not function the way a normal credit card does. Though it has the Visa logo, it does not extend a line of credit. The money on the card is prepaid -- you load the funds yourself using an approved method. One of these approved methods is PayPal. To transfer from a PayPal to a Walmart card, you must first add the card to your PayPal account. Because it is a debit card -- not credit -- add the Walmart card as a bank account.

Instructions

1. Visit the Walmart MoneyCard website.

2. Type in your MoneyCard number or your website user ID. Fill in your password, select your card's expiration date and type the log-in code in the appropriate box.

3. Click "Log-in."

4. Click "Online Bank Transfer" under the Add Funds tab. Scroll down until you see the section labeled "To Make a Bank Transfer Reload."
