How to Verify your Paypal Account With your GTBank, Zenith, Diamond, UBA Master Card or Visa Card

It was and it is still a great news that PayPal has finally accepted NG

into their list of supported countries that Nigerians like you and myself

can now open PayPal on our own IP and as well verify our account using

our Nigeria ATM card such as that of GTBank, Zenith, Diamond, UBA and

many more in as much it is either mastercard or visacard.

BUT from my observation and what people have been contacting me on

for assistance are how to verify their PayPal account with their ATM card
and also what to buy to test-run and confirm if their own PayPal account
will be able to make payment online.

If you're having problems verifying your Nigerian Paypal account, you're

doing something incorrectly.

Steps To Verifying Your Paypal Account:

=> Firstly, log in to your paypal account and make sure you entered the

correct billing address for your card.

=> Secondly, check your email for the 'Welcome to Paypal' email sent into

the email address you used in opening your paypal account. There is a
'Link Your Card' link inside that email; click on that link, follow the prompt
and log into your paypal account.
=> In your account follow the step by step instruction making sure your card
details and billing address are correct, then click 'Continue'.

=> If your card details are correct, Paypal will deduct $1.95 from your account
with an instruction to look out from an alert from your bank in 2-3 days time.

My GTB alert took less than 1 hour to arrive on my phone.

The message in the bank alert goes thus " Acct""""""""""""""""""""1234 The

naira equivalent of USD 1.95 has been approved for the transaction done

on PP"1234CODE 5678364577 LU

=> Thirdly, Log back into your Paypal account and click either the 'Verify' tab at

the top of your paypal account statement or 'Confirm your card' link in the

right hand column of your Papal account.

=> Doing either of the two will take you to a window where you'll be required

to enter the four digit code in the alert message sent to you by your bank.

Enter the 4 digit numbers preceding CODE in the SMS alert; its 1234 in

the sample SMS given above.

After entering the 4 digit code in the space provide, scroll down and click

the 'Confirm Card' tab.

That's it!

You've successfully verified your Nigerian Paypal account and you can

now shop all over the world with that your ATM card without any merchant

turning you down each time you choose the Paypal payment option.

Verifying your account also lifts the limit off the $250 spending limit on

unverified accounts.

I hope this helps......
