Unable to confirm my debit card on Paypal. #Banks and cards

[Ibukunoluwa]

Hello, please help! I tried linking my debit card to my paypal account but I am unable to confirm it. I couldn't find any box or any PayPal verification code. This is my first paypal account and the first time I will be linking a card. Looking forward to your assistance. Thank you

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 so unfortunately there is no point in your having a business account.
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.

Thank you. I actually linked a visa credit card but it didn't work either

Was it a physical card and not an online one?

Also did you confirm it with the 4 digit code after adding it?
