No Bank routing number

Hi, I'm from Fiji and i need Pay-pal to transfer money to my account in Fiji but we don't have Bank routing numbers in Fiji due to our countries geographical size and location. We only have bank swift codes. I have been receiving money through Payoneer without any hassle from my previous vendors but my current vendor uses Pay-pal and now i'm struck without the routing number?

Unfortunately, it's not possible to link any bank account other than a US bank account. The withdrawal of funds for PayPal accounts in Fiji is done through either a US bank account or a Visa card issued in Fiji.

 

Here is a PayPal link with details on account functions by country.

Hello

Cant paypal transfer the money straight to my designated bank account rather than going through the visa card issue as visa cards are only for the rich in Fiji. With Payonear, i didn't have such hustle as they paid directly to my designated bank account using swift codes. Now i am struck as i dont have a visa card and i want my payments to come through. OMG

Payoneer isn't an accepted bank for PayPal accounts because it's considered a type of virtual bank.

Thank you for sharing and sorry you have to go through this. That makes the two of us. Looks like I'll be switching to Payoneer now. Sa macawa sara ga na going back and forth jiko vaqo with their customer support too.
