He/she can verify all the details on your behalf. This way you can transact safely.

Risk and solutions to save your account after opening a Paypal account from Bangladesh

PayPal is a very popular and easy way to shop online or make money transactions. But PayPal is not yet available in Bangladesh.

It is possible to open a PayPal account using an address in another country that supports PayPal, such as the United States.

Many people open a PayPal account using a virtual bank account and debit/credit card using a fake address.

It is possible to fully verify these PayPal accounts, but the risk remains.

What are the risks?

The company does not usually require proof of personal information when opening a PayPal account.

But after making a fairly large amount transaction on PayPal, it may rush to ask for a scanned copy of your photo ID.

If your account is opened with fake information, where do you get the photo ID? And at that moment, if you have money in your PayPal account, PayPal can hold it.


Even if your PayPal account is legally open with completely accurate information, it is risky to use it from Bangladesh.

Since Bangladesh is not yet officially on PayPal’s transaction list, the service takes cognizance of login to or through PayPal transactions using the IP address here several times.

PayPal may ask for additional information about your account to verify that your account is indeed legally open. As such it will require a scanned copy of your bank statement or utility bill.

If you can’t pay them, the account will become limited.

If you want to buy something with PayPal using the address of the foreign country, the billing address will show the address of that country at the time of checkout.

You can edit this address every time you shop, but it may not look very good on PayPal.

Some companies create your profile based on the information provided in the billing address after receiving PayPal payments.

Take, for example, a hosting service company.

If you are paying your bill for the first time in a hosting company with PayPal, then they will create your profile according to the information provided in your paypal account.

Now if you open PayPal with a US address, your country will also show the United States on the hosting company.

It can be changed in the hosting company, but in that case, you have to take a selfie with your photo ID card in hand and upload it.

Otherwise, your hosting account might be blocked. A webmaster can no longer have the frustrating situation of having his hosting / domain management account blocked. So be careful!

It is not yet certain when PayPal will arrive in Bangladesh

If you open PayPal with fake information, you will have to resort to dozens of lies to cover up a lie.

Yes, I know very well how important a PayPal account is.

Many people are using virtual bank and somewhat tricky way to open PayPal account with an address.

This can lead to the risk of money laundering. In addition, care must be taken to use PayPal legally in Bangladesh using other country info.

In some cases, many people suggest login to PayPal with VPN (Virtual Private Network) with the IP address of the home country of the respective account.

However, there is a risk of data theft. The bottom line is that if you have the relevant documents of the information provided in PayPal, then you can get the account back by submitting the documents even if the account is limited.

In that case, PayPal can ignore the issue of IP address (as a traveler). You have to explain everything by contacting support.

It’s easy to open a PayPal account, but it’s hard to maintain it.

Many people have verified their PayPal account with Payoneer.

You need to be cautious to save that account.

At the moment there is no complete alternative service to PayPal on our planet. But Payoneer can be a good alternative to PayPal for online shopping.

Because Payoneer has MasterCard/debit card that makes it easy to pay bills online. Therefore, when opening an account with Payoneer, you must select the option to take a prepaid MasterCard.

Wrapping up

So this is it. Now, You should be able to open a payoneer account from Bangladesh. But be always very careful to save your account.
