Now that you have connected your PayPal account to your Paga app, here is what you need to know.
Receiving Money Has Never Been Easier
Just like any PayPal account, clients, friends, or family abroad can send money to the email or phone number linked to your Nigerian PayPal account.
Keep in mind: a user can have up to two PayPal accounts — typically one personal and one business.
You can also receive money in all 25 currencies PayPal supports. While Naira is not one of them, all funds received, regardless of the currency, are automatically converted to USD. You can check your PayPal balance inside the Paga app.
Withdrawing is very simple
- Open PayPal inside the Paga app
- Tap Withdraw
- Enter the amount
- Confirm
Your Paga Naira wallet is credited instantly at a competitive exchange rate. Withdrawals are fast, and at the moment, FREE (no charges).
- Daily withdrawal limit: $5,000
- Minimum withdrawal: $4
Just a quick note: You can receive money in your Paga account as usual. However, the top-up feature — which lets you add money to your account yourself — is not available yet. We’re working to make it available soon.
What You Can Do With Your Money
Once your PayPal funds are in Naira, you can do all this and more directly in the Paga app:
- Pay bills (electricity, education, solar, and more), buy airtime/data, fund betting wallets, etc.
- Request, get, and fund your Paga prepaid card for online or offline shopping
- Pay for subscriptions like Amazon Prime, Netflix, DStv/GOtv/StarTimes, etc.
Finally,
For your safety, your PayPal name must match your Paga name, and only one PayPal account can be linked per Paga account. Paga may request verification details like BVN or NIN to comply with regulations.
The connection itself is fully secure — Paga doesn’t store your PayPal login information, and all data is encrypted.
Whether you’re a freelancer, a business owner, or someone who just needs a simple way to receive international payments, Paga has made it easy for your money to flow freely.
