South Africa - payment methods?

7 replies
Hey,

on a website I own, we're accepting donations for server upgrades, and some people wish to donate - but can't use Paypal, as they live in South Africe, and Paypal won't accept their Debit cards. Some of them don't have a Credit card, either, so I'm wondering how would they go about Donating or sending me money?

Thanks!
Regards,

    You are allowed to sent money from South Africa via Paypal but you cannot receive money. One of the South African banks, First National Bank is currrently negotiating with Paypal to get this option available to South Africans. I agree, Alertpay is a good alternative.

    It would be great if First National Bank got that right. Where did you hear about that?

      I don't know, but I am a client of First National Bank so I am going to ask my banker about it. I will let you guys know what comes of it.

    Thanks Clinton

    It will be excellent for us to accept paypal. Hopefully FNB will be able to convince the Reserve Bank to make some changes.
