PayPal Extends Payment Services To Nigeria, 9 Other Countries

PayPal, one of the world’s premier online payment platforms, has made significant advancements in its global presence by incorporating Nigeria and nine other countries into its portfolio. The move signifies a meaningful step in expanding their market hegemony, set to kick off this week.

Reports sourced from Reuters denote that PayPal plans on making inroads into several territories including Belarus, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Monaco, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Zimbabwe, Paraguay, and Nigeria. From this roster, Nigeria boasts of substantial potential, corroborated by a staggering 60 million internet users as per Euromonitor data. PayPal’s recent initiative takes the tally of countries under its purview to an impressive 203.

“Undergoing a metamorphosis to enhance our mobile compatibility underscores our commitment to making strides in up-and-coming markets,” Rupert Keeley, PayPal’s EMEA Regional Vice President, mentioned to Reuters.

Yet, initial offerings in these new territories will be somewhat circumscribed. According to Keeley, the ‘send money’ functionality will be the sole feature during the launch, catering to payments on selected international e-commerce platforms. It’s worth mentioning that local establishments won’t have the provision to accept PayPal payments initially.

Keeley remains confident about their vendors making inroads into these new markets. Furthermore, PayPal aims to stimulate secure digital transactions in countries notorious for rampant online scams.

Prior to this turn of events, PayPal had come under fire from Nigerian digital enterprises for overlooking the country which boasts the highest rate of internet consumption in Africa. Funnily enough, PayPal had already ventured into less populous African countries like Tanzania, Kenya, Chad, and Mauritius. Deterring online scams was the chief obstacle in breaching the Nigerian market. It remains to be seen whether the petition issued by CreativityKills, a Nigerian digital design firm at change.org, impacted PayPal’s decision.
