🔐 Sign In or Sign Up
-
If you already have a PayPal account:
Tap “Log In” and enter your email or phone number and password.
-
If this is your first time using PayPal:
Tap “Sign Up.”
IMPORTANT: We strongly recommend using the same email address you used to sign up for FreeWorld. If you need to use a different email address for PayPal, please submit a request HERE.
Create a secure password and enter your phone number.
PayPal will send a verification code by text or email. Enter the code in the app to verify your account.
Once your PayPal account is set up and verified, you’re ready to receive funds from FreeWorld
NOTE:
- We suggest setting up your PayPal account using the SAME email address that you use for FreeWorld. If you cannot, please be sure to let us know.
- You will not be able to request funds until you have completed all classes and tests, uploaded your identity documents and obtained your permit and DOT physical
- FreeWorld does not have access to your PayPal account, we can only send funds to your account using your email. Any holds
(FYI: When you receive funds, you should receive an email that looks like this.)
