PayPal is a  secure payment platform that is highly recommended for online transactions. Some countries are banned from using PayPal but I am going to teach you how to open a PayPal account even in a banned country. Ghana is one of the countries banned from using PayPal. Do you know that PayPal is one of the most important ways of receiving payments online? It is not everybody that likes to send money or pay online with PayPal but everybody wants to receive payment with PayPal.

If you have a website or if you work online, you must have a PayPal account for your business. Yes, it is a “must”. An online business without a PayPal account has not started, I must tell you the truth.

This guide can be followed by other backlisted countries or other countries with some limitations like our Nigerian brothers and sisters who can send but can't receive. 

I have been using PayPal in Ghana for seven years now with no restrictions and I want to share my experience with you on how I created my PayPal account.

 I use these same steps to create it for my Nigerian friends and other blacklisted countries. Please follow every step in this guide and create a successful PayPal account today.

Sine Ghana is  listed among the countries blacklisted by PayPal, we will use a different country’s address. In this case, we will use United Arab Emirates. 


PayPal is a strict company, don't use PayPal for fraud because when one reports you for chargeback, PayPal won't mind limiting your account. 

Again do not log in to your PayPal account on different devices and IPs. Always login with the same IP or device to avoid PayPal detecting you as a fraudster and placing limitations on your account. However,  PayPal limits your account, you can upload a screenshot of your Votes ID or Passport as proof to them, and they will lift the ban. So, make sure you use a valid address when signing up for an account. Also, never use any form of proxy/VPN. Maintain your Ghana IP address.
