How do I link my debit card to my Paypal account? I've tried severally and it's saying 'Check your information and try again'

Yeah, sorry to hear that you are having trouble with linking your card. It is rather regular here. After 1.4 million error messages (every single one of them different) and after spending 2 days on phone with customer support, I managed to get my card linked. Just hang on there. You'll eventually get there too. It might take a while, it might require a lot of effort and it might drive you nuts, but in the end everything is going to be fine.

A few things you might try:

1. Try to add your card using mobile app when you have been attempting to do that on the PayPal website.

2. Try to add your card via PayPal website when you have been attempting to do that using the mobile app.

3. Try using different web browsers. Firefox is rather good one.

4. Have you tried all the browsers? What about Onion?

5. Still unlucky, go with Wise or other similar service provider instead.

Good luck!

Your advice is WRONG.

You can't add or link a DEBIT card in NIGERIA.

You can't add a local bank account / debit card in your country.
You can only link a visa credit card.

Also the option to receive paypal payments is sadly not available in Nigeria.
You can only send payments for purchases funded by your (confirmed) credit card.

Paypal varies a lot country to country and can only offer the services that the banks / governments of that country allow it to offer.
There are quite a few countries unable to receive paypal payments.

@kernowlass Thank you very much for making this very clear to me. However, what I have is a Visa Debit card from my country. Please help me. How else do I make a payment online?

You can only add a visa credit card as i have already told you and posted the link that makes that clear.
