How the South Africa PayPal Account Works

It is important to learn how South Africa PayPal account works especially knowing that it offers a complete PayPal account functionality.

Generally, opening a new PayPal account across the globe is free, meaning that it cost absolutely nothing.

PayPal transaction fee has been discussed further (below) on this page.

The process of using PayPal in South Africa seems a little complicated for few people. But let me break it down.

After you’ve created your PayPal account (and confirmed your email), you can now start requesting funds, sending, and withdrawing funds too. But to start you’ll be requested to link your bank account and/or debit or credit card. The card will be for spending, whereas the bank accounts for withdrawing money.

But the confusion is on the “PayPal Withdrawal” process, right?

Ok, let’s get to it now.

Withdrawing Fund

You can withdraw money from your PayPal account directly to your First National Bank of South Africa (FNB) or any linked South African bank account.

FNB is more preferable by many, you will only need an FNB Online Banking profile. If you don’t bank with FNB, you can create a free FNB Online Banking profile and link your PayPal account to your South African bank account. 

We’ve got a separate page on how to create an FNB Online Banking profile and link your PayPal account to your South African bank account. Learn More Here.

Spending

Aside from the ability to spend directly from your Credit or Debit Visa or Mastercard linked to the PayPal account, you have the added advantage of topping up from your South African Rands if you bank with FNB. A Top-up takes less than 10 minutes to reflect in your PayPal account.

Requesting for Payment

You have various experience in requesting for payment, that includes creating link, creating invoice (only for business PayPal acct), and sharing your PayPal email account.
