When Precious received a USD 380.00 payment from a client in mid-February, she thought the long wait was finally over. The data analyst had linked her PayPal account to Paga weeks earlier, after the Nigerian fintech pioneer announced a landmark partnership with the U.S. payments giant, finally allowing users in the country to receive money after two decades of restrictions.
Then PayPal restricted her account.
"After filling everything, when money came in, PayPal still restricted the account," Precious, who goes by Prithee_p on X, posted on Feb. 19. "Now, they said they would hold the money till March 9 before releasing it despite filling out all their paperwork."
