PayPal is the world’s number one online money transfer platform and is used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide to send and receive money.

Also, PayPal doesn’t share your full financial information with sellers. And PayPal Buyer Protection covers your eligible purchases if they don’t show up or match their description.

For years, PayPal had basically shut Nigeria out due to our notoriety for internet-related fraud. As fraud detection techniques improved as well as Nigeria’s notion as the largest economy in Africa, PayPal has now lifted restrictions on Nigeria. Owning a PayPal account is quite simple and you can do that in two ways.

Requirements for Opening a PayPal Account in Nigeria

1. Firstly, you will need a valid email address

2. Secondly, you would also need a Visa or MasterCard linked to a Nigerian bank account. This could be a credit or debit card. This is necessary for verifying your PayPal account. The service would debit a tiny amount from the card and once you confirm the transaction, the account would be fully Verified.

3. Finally, please note that as of December 2018, Interswitch’s Verve card does not work with the service.
