PayPal has begun allowing Nigerians to receive payments on its platform following a new partnership with local fintech company Paga, marking a major shift in its long-restricted operations in the country.
The development was disclosed by Paga founder and CEO, Tayo Oviosu, in a LinkedIn post announcing the collaboration.
Under the new arrangement, Nigerian users can link their PayPal accounts to Paga wallets, enabling them to receive international payments-functionality that had been unavailable for nearly two decades.
