In today's world one of the most popular payment method online is the use of PayPal, However Nigerian PayPal is limited to receiveing fund but not limited to sending funds, this makes it quite difficult for it to be used for online payments, aside from just buying and paying for goods and services.
Also this limitation makes it quite difficult for Nigerians to receive payment from online survey apps and top paying international affiliate programs that pays massively.
I've given this a close thought and embarked on a research and somewhat found another means to bypass the limitation and this is the use of Lesotho PayPal which comes with the complete PayPal feature, which can not only send funds but also receive fund and also perform other kind of transaction a foreign PayPal does. Without wasting much of your time let's get down to it!
Opening a Lesotho PayPal account from Nigeria is simple and straight-forward. You simply need to visit their official website.
EMAIL: Enter your email address e.g Techybarn@gmail.com
PASSWORD: Enter your password e.g Techybarn$1
BUSINESS NAME: Enter your business name e.g Techybarn
PHONE NUMBER: Change the country to Nigeria and input your Nigeria number e.g 8134560721 (Do not start +234 and omit 0).
BUSINESS ADDRESS: Enter your business address e.g Federal Housing Kubwa
CITY/TOWN: Input any details here e.g Kubwa
And after that, skip others and leave your primary currency as USD dollars and agree to their terms and conditions.
Choose NIGERIA as nationality and input your National ID card number or use other options like Driver’s Licence, Passport and others. Just input the ID number on the page. Then, choose your date of birth and click on submit.
Now, you have successfully created a Lesotho PayPal account, kindly check the notifications on your PayPal account and verify your email address by clicking on paypal message link on the email you used in registration.
You have successfully created a Lesotho Paypal account that can send and receive funds in Nigeria. Also you can now receive fund from international programs.
However you can’t withdraw the money to your Nigeria bank account. Meanwhile, you can sell your PayPal funds for cash to those who want to buy.
You would have to link your bank account to PayPal to withdraw your fund to Nigeria bank account.
You cannot just link a Nigeria bank account to Lesotho Paypal account, it won’t work, or just try linking your Nigerian bank account if it will work and if it doesn’t, use Africard.
The method seem to work is that, if you are using UBA, kindly go to your bank and tell them to give you AFRICARD.
It should look like this below:
Make sure you tell UBA bank that you want the Africard to be “internationally high” and also take along your NEPA bills or National ID when going to collect your Africard.
I hope I have been able to teach you how to create a PayPal account that sends and receives in Nigeria. And also a PayPal account that can withdraw fund to your Nigeria bank account.
