or smartphones, without having to share their financial information with the
seller”, explained Chuma Ezirim, Head of E-Buisness, FirstBank.

Commenting on the partnership, Efi
Dahan, PayPal’s Regional Director for Africa and Israel, said; “Millions of
Nigerians already shop on websites in the US, UK or China, but many find that
their cards are rejected or have concerns about entering their credit card
details on the website of a seller based overseas. PayPal is used by hundreds
of millions of people around the world to make international payments because
PayPal payments are trusted by international retailers and we don’t share your
financial details with anyone”.
“This exclusive partnership with
FirstBank is a major milestone in PayPal’s Africa growth story and we hope to
make more announcements together in the future as our partnership
develops.”Dahan stated.

customers planning their summer shopping. FirstBank cards are accepted in over
200 countries and on millions of PoS terminals and ATMs around the world.
This partnership with PayPal provides
further unique benefits to FirstBank customers,” she added.
