Last year, Equity launched a ground- breaking solution to expedite PayPal withdrawals to help customers transfer funds easily from PayPal to their account.
The service reduced the time it takes to have PayPal settlements reflected in your bank account to only 1 working day. In this article, we’ll walk you through the details of Equity’s PayPal Withdrawal Service, which ensures seamless and efficient transactions.
The Need for Speed
Equity understands the demands of its customers for faster and more efficient transactions. With an increasing number of Kenyans engaging in online freelance work and relying on PayPal for international payments, speed is of the essence. Recognizing this, Equity has reduced the settlement period for PayPal withdrawals from 72 hours to just 1 working day. This means you can now access your funds in your Equity Bank account in no time.
Leading the Way
Equity is proud to stand out as the fastest PayPal settlement service provider in Kenya. While other providers take up to 72 hours to settle withdrawals, Equity cuts through the waiting time, offering a swift solution. This reduction in settlement period is crucial as Kenya’s e-commerce ecosystem continues to grow rapidly. With projections estimating the country’s e-commerce market volume to reach an impressive US$2 billion by 2024, Equity is committed to meeting the demands of this thriving industry.
The Benefits of PayPal
PayPal is a reliable and secure payment management solution widely used by freelancers and individuals worldwide. With over 200 million active users globally and processing an astounding US$300 billion in transactions during the second quarter of 2021 alone, PayPal has become a trusted platform for international payments. It allows users to send money to friends and family worldwide, free of charge, making it an ideal choice for global financial transactions. Equity is the sole commercial bank in Kenya that offers the PayPal withdrawal service.
