Firstbank, Paypal Partner To Encourage Online Shopping In Nigeria by Nobody: 8:28am On Jul 24, 2014 |
FirstBank Limited and global payments provider, PayPal, have announced a partnership to encourage Nigerians shop online across the world. PayPal is global payments provider with 148 million active accounts in 203 markets. The partnership with FirstBank will allow customers of the bank to register for a PayPal account from their FirstOnline, Internet-banking account. “By linking FirstBank-issued debit, prepaid or credit cards to their new PayPal account, FirstBank customers can shop and pay on millions of websites around the world from their PCs, tablets or smartphones, without having to share their financial information with the seller”, explained Chuma Ezirim, Head of E-Buisness, FirstBank. “Through this partnership, FirstBank customers gain a unique advantage as their PayPal account will receive automatic verification and increased transaction limits, making it even easier to start making online or mobile payments”, he added. Commenting on the partnership, Efi Dahan, PayPal’s Regional Director for Africa and Israel, said; “Millions of Nigerians already shop on websites in the US, UK or China, but many find that their cards are rejected or have concerns about entering their credit card details on the website of a seller based overseas. PayPal is used by hundreds of millions of people around the world to make international payments because PayPal payments are trusted by international retailers and we don’t share your financial details with anyone”. “This exclusive partnership with FirstBank is a major milestone in PayPal’s Africa growth story and we hope to make more announcements together in the future as our partnership develops.”Dahan stated. According to FirstBank spokesperson, Folake Ani-Mumuney, “The acceptance of FirstBank Cards for making PayPal payments is a significant boost to our continuous initiative to drive innovation in banking services and our promise to always put customers at the heart of our business. This partnership will provide convenience for our customers planning their summer shopping. FirstBank cards are accepted in over 200 countries and on millions of PoS terminals and ATMs around the world. This partnership with PayPal provides further unique benefits to FirstBank customers,” she added. “We are delighted to be able to bring PayPal to all our customers in Nigeria in a partnership that is consistent with our drive to support the push towards a cashless society in Nigeria and lead innovation in development of secure online payment systems. For all FirstBank customers, opening a Paypal account using our FirstOnline platform will only take a few minutes, as the cus. SOURCE: Vanguard NG |

PadBin: hello, tried linking my GTB card to my paypal account but it gave an error message saying the card is not linked . Do I ned to get authorization from the bank? |

kweenkong:You definitely don't need to get authorized from the Bank. All you need to do is: Make sure the billing address in your GTBank matches the one you used in Paypal; Also note that you must have enough fund in your MasterCard. That should solve the problem. |

onyfrank:Then you need to owned any of the listed Card to be able to get verified. |
