Before now, Nigerian and Most African SMEs and E-commerce merchants couldn’t use PayPal accounts to receive money from their foreign customers. PayPal in 2017 suspended Nigeria PayPal accounts from receiving funds — Nigeria PayPal accounts can only be used to make payments, but can’t be used to receive payments. The international payment processor, PayPal said it decision was based on the fact that some fraudsters from Nigeria and Africa use PayPal accounts to receive illegal funds. The PayPal decision affected many genuine e-commerce merchants in Nigeria.
