PayPal, a leader in global online payments, has increasingly turned its attention to Africa, a continent that’s experiencing rapid e-commerce growth.
Your ability to engage in online transactions hinges on the availability and functionality of payment platforms. PayPal responds to this need by offering services in various African countries.
In Africa’s diverse market, PayPal typically partners with local banks to provide you with comprehensive services, such as partnerships with First National Bank in South Africa and Equity Bank in Kenya.
