Nationhela accounts (where the money actually sits) are not in any Kenyan bank account. Think of it as an international visa card.

It is not really a Blacklisting issues, its a variety of factors that
are
preventing withdrawals in Banks in Kenya (and other countries) such as:
1. Federal (US) Regulations, read Patriotic Act/Post 911 Terrorism policies/Money Laundering/Fraud etc. Unfortunately Kenyan policies might not subscribe to these. Anyway, I wont go into these details.
More importantly is...
2. Paypal's inability to verify the address hence the identity of the account holders (In Kenya P.O. Boxes are used which is a Big no no). This is important because If anything goes wrong (read fraud) during a transaction and Paypal needs to issue a refund to the victim (assuming the money was promptly withdrawn), it will be a bit tricky for them to deal with a foreign banks. So Paypal is a little strict on who they allow to withdraw funds
So in short there is a lot that needs to be ironed out policy wise before Paypal and its insurers put themselves at risk dealing with foreign users who cannot be reliably verified.
Having a US bank account gives this verification and that is why you can comfortably withdraw to a US bank account if you can verify you have one.
I hope this answers this issue of Paypal that keeps coming up on this list over and over and over...
I think you get the picture.
Blacklisted how? And you can actually use the money in your Bank account via a debit/credit card to pay for a transaction via Paypal. Have they just blacklisted receiving money?

Hi all,
I do not have a solution at this point except am aware through very reliable means that a local bank will soon offer Paypal withdrawals and that should sometime later this month.
Bernsoft is an appointed technical integration partner for Paypal.

I have been reduced to be relying on the web hosting and domains money instead, we are a webhost company infoken.co.ke and our server is histed in the US, use the dollars in paypal to pay for those services and refund myself, its cheaper but dependent on those factors to work, not very reliable.****

While we all wait for Bernsoft to cut through the thick mesh of bureaucratic red tape, here is the method that works for me...
When I receive the funds in my paypal, I send them to a "contact" of mine in US who then withdraws the same into his bank account there, then sends the monies to me via Mpesa or Moneygram. Mpesa is usually faster since he can do it from his phone wherever he is, but it is more expensive since he is charged to send and I am charged to withdraw. Moneygram is cheaper and instant, but he has to find a Moneygram depot to send from so it is a bit slower. Withdrawing from Paypal to bank account takes about 3 days.
On average, I lose about $10 to $50 due to all those middlemen. The more I send, the more I lose. I lose even more if I am converting from one currency to another. But it is a price I have to bear.
Bottomline: It can be done but it is expensive.

*One solution would be to get a credit card from one of the local banks. You will automatically get an account with the bank. The account can be either a Ksh account or a dollar account. You will then be able to transfer funds between your Paypal account and your bank account.*****
@Peter, do you know anyone who has successfully done that? ****
