History Of PayPal In Ghana:

While some factors such as fraud have been cited for the reason why Ghana is not one of the countries on the PayPal compliant list. It has been noted elsewhere that, people in Ghana can’t open accounts because PayPal hasn’t found third-party companies to work with to operationalize their services.
