PayPal is an American company operating a worldwide online payments system that supports online money transfers and serves as an electronic alternative to traditional paper methods like checks and money orders. This definition of PayPal should be known fully well to some of you who have seen any of my tutorials on how to open a PayPal account that receives money in Nigeria.

Well, it is a known fact that despite being able to create a PayPal account as a Nigerian, you’re limited to only receiving funds and not sending out but with a simple trick of creating Lesotho, South Africa or even UAE PayPal accounts here in Nigeria, we can successfully lay claim to the fact that receiving and sending funds to anyone in the world using PayPal is very much possible.

Creating a PayPal account that can send and receive funds is one thing but withdrawing the funds directly to your Nigerian bank account is another work on its own. Yes, there are some ways by which you can withdraw PayPal funds straight to your Nigerian bank account with one way being the use of UBA AfriCard.

Now, for you to get hold of this card, you need to be a UBA customer and we all know that not every Nigerian PayPal owner likes the bank UBA as for the other part of the population that uses PayPal and have bank accounts with UBA, simply rush down to any UBA branch near you, get a UBA AfriCard, link it to your PayPal account and gain access to almost limitless withdrawals straight to your bank account.

This is one way on how to withdraw money from a PayPal account to a Nigerian bank account, there is another way to also withdraw funds directly to your bank account and I’m going to show you how to do that in this article.
