Zimbabwe Remember there was a time when Paypal didn’t work at all in any of these countries, Nigeria was banned for many years, a lot of fraud came out of Ghana, Ivory Coast and Nigeria, but things have changed, you can at the very least use your debit card to pay for services online in the equivalent of your currency. Some countries however till might not be able to withdraw money they’ve made to their bank account, due to local banking restrictions.
