PayPal today is known to be the most popular payment channel for online transactions. Its acceptability globally in terms of online payment has to do with its numerous features which prevent frauds and scams, making it easier for buyers/senders to recover their fund when necessary. Many merchants also trust its service delivery due to its wider outreach.

Consequently, PayPal doesn't work outrightly in most countries which Nigeria is one of them. The reason has to do with the high level of scams in those domains which has resulted in loss of funds for PayPal itself thanks to its chargeback feature. However, users in those blacklisted countries can only send but can't receive payment via PayPal. Freelancers and internet marketers in those countries have been finding it difficult getting paid as many has resorted to using offshore accounts which get easily flagged down.

The biblical saying "when the sinners are suffering, the righteous also suffers" has come to play. There's no country that's wholly devoid of scams and frauds including Saudi Arabia and Vatican city, the holy lands. In this context, I guess PayPal with its action is being penny wise pound foolish especially in a country like Nigeria which has a swelling population of over 200m dwellers. I don't think PayPal itself has realized that they are losing a lot of money in commissions in Nigeria if they had not limit their service down here. We have many online workers in thousands (not fraudsters) doing freelance jobs in form of graphics designing, web development, article writing etc.

They need a rethink, seriously!

MY PROPOSED SOLUTION

PayPal can leverage on the newly introduced BVN scheme to verify accounts so as to curb frauds. With this, any perpetuated illegal acts can easily be traced and tracked down instead of obliviating the whole country from enjoying their service. If services like alibaba and aliexpress can function properly in Nigeria, I don't see reason why PayPal can't operate successfully. PayPal should take a cue from Payoneer unless there's a major reason aside those aforementioned that they are not disclosing out. Nigeria isn't the only bad boy.

Let 2020 bring a fruitful and painless PayPal for Nigeria.

is dat all
