Nigerians have taken to social media to express mixed reactions following PayPal’s renewed engagement with the country, with a mix of boycott calls, cautious optimism and opportunity.
The partnership with local fintech firm, Paga, disclosed by Paga’s founder, Tayo Oviosu will now allow users to receive payments on the platform.
The development marks a major shift in PayPal’s long-restricted operations in Nigeria, where users were previously unable to receive funds despite being able to make outbound payments.
