How many countries is PayPal available
PayPal is available in more than 200 countries and regions around the world, according to its official country list.
Availability does not mean the same service everywhere:
- Currencies: PayPal handles 25 currencies for international transactions.
- Feature limits: What you can do depends on location, with some countries allowing both sending and receiving, and others allowing only certain actions, such as receiving international payments.
- Restrictions and bans: Many regions still face restrictions or withdrawal limits, and in some places the service is banned entirely.
- Official directory: The PayPal Global page lists every country and region where the service currently operates, along with the currencies it supports.
For a PayPal overview of what is possible in a given country, check that country's entry in the official directory, since the features on offer differ by location.
