5. Your Address (home address and business address)

Steps To Create A Paypal Account In Ghana

As you already know Paypal is not yet working in African countries like Ghana, Although Paypal is working in Countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Morocco etc yet they still have limits. But this can not stop you from accessing Paypal because it is one of the best and most well-known ways of sending money online.

 The steps seem to be a bit long because I have broken it down in a way people with no skills or aren’t all that smart in doing things like this can be able to follow the steps and also create theirs successfully.

STEP 1:

Hop onto your PayPal Official website

STEP 2:

Scroll-down to the bottom of the home page, click on the USA flag and choose Country Kenya: 

We are using Kenya Paypal because Kenya is one of the African countries that is allowed to deposit and withdraw money from their Paypal to Bank account.

STEP 3:

Select a Business Account:

We will be choosing a business account because with a business account we can add our Ghanaian phone number. But for the personal account, we have to get a Kenyan phone number for verification in which we will not be able to get.

For Business, we can say we are Ghanaians living in Kenya and having a business there. Just simple as that and we are good to go.

STEP 4:

Fill in the particulars needed like Email, Full name, Date of birth, Address, Password, Zip code etc.

STEP 5:  

Fill in your Business information: Here you will fill in your business info and add a website if your business has a website if not you can skip it and continue.

STEP 6:

Fill in more about you: Here you will add your Date of Birth, Nationality, Identity document (National Id card, Ghana Card, Driving License) and then confirm your home address once again.

STEP 7:

You’re done, At this point, your Paypal account has been created successfully. And then you move on to the verifications.

2.Link a Visa card: 

I will not recommend you to link a bank account because these banks here in Ghana cannot be linked to Paypal because they are not located in Paypal accepted countries, that’s how I will put it.

I will recommend you get a United Bank Of Africa (UBA ) Africard. With that, you can link it to your Paypal account successfully without any issues.

To get a UBA Africard is not a big deal, You just have to visit a UBA branch near you and go make enquiries about how to get an Africard .

Withdrawing Money From Paypal To MTN  Mobile Money 

There is this controversial question that lots of Ghanaians ask, “how to withdraw money from our Paypal account to your MTN mobile money”.

I will say that can be possible but you will have to pass through a long long process. And it’s not all that secure other than withdrawing with your linked debit card or visa card.

I know other people want it straight like withdrawing their money from Paypal straight to MTN mobile money without passing through any long process. With that question, I will say No! that can not be done.

But then as I said at first, it can be done but you have to pass through a long long process that would even lead to you losing your money if you are not all that smart.

Since this article is here to help I will give a hint on how I think that can be done step by step.

1. Get a Binance account. Binance is a website for trading bitcoin, and you can get paid through MTN Mobile Money, Vodafone Cash, Tigo Cash, Chipper Cash and even local Bank accounts here in Ghana.

2. Create aaccount and verify with your Phone Number, Email Address and if you can your Voter’s ID Card. That’s not compulsory though.

3. Buy Bitcoin on there and choose your payment method to be Paypal.

4. Now you make payment and the Bitcoin will be released to you. (Pay with your PayPal Funds)

5. After you have bought your bitcoin, You now sell the bitcoin and then choose the local money transfer medium through which you want to receive your money through. Either MTN Mobile Money, Vodafone Cash, Tigo Cash, Chipper Cash or Local Bank Accounts here.

6. Get into another trade, here is what is when the smartness come inside. You have to be smart because of these local Nigerian and Ghanaian scammers.

Provide the Phone Number you want to receive the payment on it and the Full Name you used to register your MTN Mobile Money.

And tell the buyer to send the money to that number and also verify that name first before he/she sends the money.

7. Wait for an alert before you release bitcoin, Some scammers can send fake alerts and some do not send the money at all and will be pressuring you to release the bitcoin. Be patient and trade wisely.

8. After you follow all these processes carefully your money in your Paypal account will finally get to your MTN Mobile Money account.
