Before now, PayPal has only allowed just 12 African countries to send and receive, money on the platform. Others have had to find ways to circumvent this through other channels which could be cumbersome or way more expensive.

According to the PayPal website, only Algeria, Botswana, Egypt, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Senegal, Seychelles and South Africa could send and receive money before the invention of a social payment system which can be funded via PayPal.

Other countries like Nigeria could either only send but not receive or were completely restricted like Libya and Liberia.

Most consumers in Nigeria have upgraded to making payments online rather than the traditional way of making payments. As it is safe, fast, secure, and stress-free. Therefore, merchants are expected to be able to meet up these needs.

As a result, there is a wide range of payment gateways to choose from, as a merchant. Therefore, proper consideration must be made before making your choice. You have to know the solutions each provides, the pricing, the payment methods, the setup fees, accepted currencies, etc.

“Just a little over months ago, we started this incredible journey to drive the adoption of social payment system in Africa and aid financial freedom in Africa — and what a run it has been!” Vin Obieze…..
