PAYPAL Now In Nigeria – First Bank Partners Paypal to Expand E-commerce in Nigeria

For years I had tried to do online businesses with some particular websites without much success especially when those sites only accept and make payment via the Paypal payment platform. 

Attempts were even made by many to open Paypal accounts from other countries while still resident in Nigeria but certain questions asked on the Paypal site made those attempts unrealistic. Eventually scammers took over and a lot of people were scammed of their money. (Thank God I never fell mugu) ...well all that has now changed.

Thanks to FirstBank, Nigerians can now owned and operate Paypal accounts legally while as resident in Nigeria.

Paypal is an online payment solution accepted all over the world with over 148 million accounts in 26 currencies spread over 203 markets around the world and with a new strategic partnership between it and First Bank of Nigeria, Nigerians can now have access to that solution.

If you own an account with FirstBank (I do), you can now pay and get paid globally in a manner that is seamless, secure and convenient.

First Bank is Nigeria's largest bank by assets and a leading commercial bank with over 750 branches across Nigeria with Cards accepted in over 200 countries and on millions of POS terminals and ATMs around the world. FirstBank have subsidiaries in UK, France, U.A.E, Ghana, Guinea, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Senegal, China and South Africa.
