PayPal Ghana: How to Create, Send, Receive Money & Withdraw PayPal to MTN Mobile Money

Ghana is one of the countries in Africa that really deserves full access to PayPal looking at the IT sector and money control systems in the country. No wonder the Ghanaian cedi ranks as the fourth-strongest currency in Africa by nominal exchange rate value against the United States dollar, but it’s unfortunate that PayPal can’t be used fully in Ghana.

If you’re in Ghana trying to use PayPal, you already know the struggle. 

Why is PayPal Not Fully Available in Ghana?

PayPal is not fully available in Ghana not because Ghana is a poor country, but rather PayPal protects its network by limiting regions where its automated fraud detection systems register higher cross-border transaction risks. While countries like Nigeria were later removed from the restriction list, Ghana remains limited.

It might take some time for Ghana to fully be allowed to use PayPal to pay and receive because even a big economy like Nigeria has just got full access to pay and receive recently and it was because of Paga’s market footprint.

That’s the reality – even with Ghana’s strong cedi and strong fintech, PayPal Ghana is still restricted.

Why Using PayPal in Ghana is a Real Struggle

If you’re to use PayPal in Ghana, it’s a real struggle.

First of all, sending out money from Ghana is really, really hard compared to other African countries. Country restrictions affect even one trying to pay with a card in PayPal.

Creating PayPal in Ghana and sending money with it is another thing. Cards are restricted except for a few banks like Ecobank, but still it’s 50/50 to work. Simple tasks which are possible in most African countries fail in Ghana PayPal because the country has stricter money rules compared to other African countries.

• Your Ghana card gets declined on PayPal even if it’s Visa/Mastercard
• Your Ghana PayPal gets limited immediately after creation
• You can’t link MTN MoMo directly to PayPal for receiving
• Sending to friends & family fails

So that’s where we come in to give assistance.

Our PayPal Services in Ghana – We Help You Send & Receive

We are Webvator – we help Ghanaians bypass PayPal Ghana restrictions legally and safely.

1. We Can Send On Your Behalf (PayPal Ghana Sending Service)

Since sending out money from Ghana is a challenge, we can send on your behalf.

You want to pay for Facebook Ads, courses, goods, hosting, domains, or a freelancer? We pay with our fully working PayPal, and you reimburse us.

You can send us money via:

• Bitcoin
• Chipper Cash
• Mobile Money via Flutterwave
• MTN Mobile Money Ghana

This solves the Ecobank 50/50 problem. No more card declines.

2. We Can Receive On Your Behalf and Send to MTN Ghana (Most Popular)

Good thing, receiving money is not a challenge for us, but sending is a challenge for you – so we handle the hard part.

We receive on behalf of people receiving:

• Church donations via PayPal
• Organization and NGO donations
• Personal donations and family support
• Freelancing payments
• Small payments that banks and Western Union can’t handle

Most people prefer this option because creating a PayPal account is risky in Ghana, it can be suspended and your money gets frozen, so that’s why most people prefer us receiving on their behalf and we send them mobile money.

How our PayPal to MTN Ghana service works:

1. Contact us for rates and tell us the amount
2. We give you a PayPal payment link to share with your sender abroad
3. They pay to us via PayPal
4. Most payments below $100 are processed within 1-2 hours
5. We send GHS to your MTN MoMo Ghana, or via Chipper Cash / Flutterwave
6. You might need to fill in a form if it’s your first time

3. Help Ghanaians Withdraw from TikTok Using PayPal

TikTok pays via PayPal, but Ghana can’t receive. Here we have to set up your PayPal account using a foreign country.

We assist you to setup a receiving PayPal account that works with TikTok, or we receive your TikTok earnings for you and send to MTN Ghana.

4. Withdraw from Apps and Other Freelancing Sites

Get paid from Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer, and other apps that require PayPal. We help you receive and withdraw to MTN Ghana via Chipper Cash / Flutterwave.

5. Receive Bitcoin and Send to Mobile Money Ghana

We also receive Bitcoin and send to your MTN Mobile Money Ghana. Perfect if your client wants to pay via Bitcoin but you need cedi in MoMo.

Why PayPal is Still Crucial for Ghana Despite Restrictions

• TikTok needs it: You need PayPal to get paid in Ghana for TikTok.
• Donors prefer it: Most donors prefer PayPal for security and data protection. Unlike Western Union where one has to find a branch and fill in details, PayPal is done on phone.
• Small payments: For $10, $20 payments, Western Union can’t send that little money and bank wire fees are higher than the money itself. PayPal allows even $1.

How to Create a PayPal Account in Ghana?

If you insist on creating a Ghana PayPal:

• Don’t use VPN
• Use Ecobank Visa/Mastercard – it’s the only one that works 50/50
• Create Personal, not Business
• Be ready for limitations when sending

But for receiving, you will need a foreign account or our receiving service. Contact us for assistance to setup correctly without getting frozen.
