Where is PayPal banned
PayPal is not entirely banned in any country, but its services are restricted or unavailable in several regions due to regulatory, political, or compliance reasons. These include Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, North Korea, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, and Zimbabwe. In some cases, limited functionality may be available, but full services are blocked. Pakistan and Bangladesh have also faced intermittent restrictions.
For Indian exporters and freelancers who face PayPal limitations or high fees, Skydo offers a reliable RBI-authorised alternative. Unlike PayPal, Skydo is designed specifically for cross-border payments from clients abroad, offering faster transfers, transparent pricing, and competitive exchange rates tailored to the needs of Indian businesses receiving international payments.
