Can I link Meow to PayPal, Venmo, or other external payment platforms?

Last updated: April 10, 2026

Yes. You can link your Meow Business Checking account to PayPal, Venmo, and most other external payment platforms that support bank account connections. This allows those platforms to pull funds from your Meow account via ACH.

How to link Meow to PayPal

  1. Log in to PayPal and go to Wallet > Link a bank.

  2. Choose one of two methods:

    • Via Plaid: Search for "Meow" in the bank search and log in with your Meow credentials.

    • Manually: Enter your Meow routing number and account number directly. You can find these in your Meow dashboard under Account Details.

  3. PayPal will initiate a small verification deposit to confirm the account — this typically takes 1–2 business days.

How to link Meow to Venmo

Venmo uses the same process as PayPal (they share the same platform). Go to Settings > Payment Methods > Add a bank or card and follow the same steps above.

How to link Meow to other platforms

Most payment platforms (Stripe, Square, Shopify Payments, etc.) support bank account linking via Plaid or manual routing/account number entry. Meow works with any platform that accepts standard ACH bank account connections.

To find your Meow routing and account numbers, go to your dashboard and select the relevant account — the details are available under Account Details or Wire/ACH Instructions.

Are there any fees for linking external platforms?

No. Linking Meow to external platforms is free. ACH transfers initiated by those platforms are also fee-free on Meow's end, though the external platform may have its own fee structure.

What if the platform doesn't recognize Meow?

If a platform can't find Meow via Plaid, use the manual entry option with your routing and account numbers. If you run into issues, contact Meow support at support@meow.com.
