[UgaBYTES] We need PayPal in Uganda

[Davis Weddi]

Hello John,

 

I think there is no real need for this petition. May be it has just come a
bit late.

 

Do you know why?

 

Because many Ugandan individuals and companies are already using paypal.

It is up to you to sign up and get a paypal account if you have a good
banker like for example Barclays or Stanchart. These already allow you to
use the Visa facility, so what stops you from getting yourself onto online
business anyway? Go talk to your banker and you will see the available
options laid down for you.

 

What I see as the problem is may be the lack of adequate sensitization on
matters like online business facilities or ecommerce facilities available to
Ugandans and how to exploit them.

It's been a long time since Uganda was in many crises, wars, inflations...
All this causes backwardness in education and Information Tech industry in
this country. Now that things are getting much better, IT industry boom is
upon us, is development is coming very rapidly. The number of active
internet users, debit/credit card owners, and users of many other online
services, is growing from day to day. There are also thousands of internet
users, who are running online businesses among which is real estate,
vehicles import & export, citizen journalists, students or others in some
online trading business, but they are all partly handicapped, because Uganda
is not on the list of almost every major payment service. 

 

One of them is PayPal, which is dominating the global online trade and used
to settle transactions online. We are confident that entrance of PayPal
service in Uganda will make possible for thousands of internet entrepreneurs
undisturbed practice of their online business, especially with allowing
Ugandan traders to pay for goods or receive payment from other traders for
service rendered or goods sold. We are using this petition to address to
PayPal management to think about this step, and to think about Uganda as a
potential online market. It's a shame that Africa is discriminated and left
behind in this era of global online trading! 

 

Lets support Uganda, lets support Africa!
