Think about how transactions were done in the past, even before internet payment applications.

Back then it was cumbersome and time consuming.

You needed to go to the bank to perform any transaction you wanted to do. But before you did that, you are going to go through a lot of processes.

After the processing stage, you will then have to wait for a certain number of days before the transaction reaches finality. And this depends on the country you are sending to.

But today, you don't have to go through all that stress just to send or receive money from foreign countries.

Online payment applications such as PayPal has made it easier for transactions to take place easily.

Making transactions with PayPal is fast and efficient. They are processed quickly, allowing Nigerians to receive payments faster than traditional payment methods.

The beauty about this is that with just your phone in your hand, you can transfer funds to anyone and anywhere in the world. You can also receive funds the same way too.

In addition, you can receive these funds directly to your bank account, and you can get notifications for the funds in your account.

If there's anything else I would say at this point, it is that as a freelancer and an online business person in general, it is best you have a PayPal account.

Even if you think you have other means of accepting foreign funds, having a PayPal account should be top of your list. And the day you use it, you'll understand why.
