Are PTAs allowed to use PayPal?

QUESTION:  Are PTAs allowed to use PayPal?  ANSWER: Thank you for your question.  We generally discourage the use of PayPal or other similar online banking accounts to accept funds.  In case you haven’t seen it already, you may want to review the piece that a task force put together a couple of years ago with advice about how to protect the PTA if you are using online banking.  You can find it in the Leadership Resources section of our website by clicking here: online banking (user name and password are available on the covers of the Leadership Packet handbooks).
