It’s no longer news that using PayPal now in Nigeria is possible without having to change IP or use a USA address.
Recently, I published a tutorial on how to open a PayPal account in Nigeria with GTBank MasterCard. Ever since then, I’ve been getting series of mails and calls on how to fund Nigeria PayPal account and also if it’s possible to get verified on PayPal with Access Bank Visa card.
Well, getting a PayPal account verified with Access Bank Visa card works perfectly. In fact, I received my PayPal verification code instantly when I confirmed the card on PayPal. No delay at all compared to when I verified my PayPal with GTBank card, during which I have to wait for long to get the 4-digit PayPal code.
The interesting part is that I was able to pay with the Access bank Visa card without confirming it when PayPal prompted me to use another card at a time the site where I wanted to make payment was declining my GTBank card which is the card I used to verify my PayPal account. It was after I used the Visa card to pay for two transactions, I decided to confirm it using the PayPal code – and the verification was instant.
You no longer have to worry yourself searching the web for PayPal exchangers in Nigeria or tutorial on how to fund PayPal in Nigeria. Reason is that once you link and confirm your debit card on your Nigeria PayPal account, all payments you make in sites accepting PayPal will be automatically deducted from the balance on your card.
Your Access Bank Visa card links to your Access bank account. So, make sure you always have enough fund in the bank account to enable you make payments successfully with your PayPal account.

==> After clicking “ Continue “, PayPal will charge the card $1.95 (about N320) to make sure it’s yours. PayPal will refund the money later.
==> You will get debit alert from Access bank via sms or email and you will see a 4-digit code associated with the PayPal charge. Your SMS alert should include a line similar to what is displayed in the screenshot below:
