First Open up a bank account and get a bank VISA Card
Getting the new VISA Card from bank is very simple, easy and takes only a few minutes. Mandatory requirements in order for you to get the card include but not limited to;
- Having valid identifications eg National ID.
- Applying for the card from any nearest bank branch near you.
Once you have all the above, simply walk in to any of the closet bank branch and submit in your application. You will pick the forms from the same branch you visit and you will be required to fill them fully, sign them to accept terms and submit together with your other attachments for example a copy or copies of your national ID, Drivers license (permit), passport, student ID and etc. And please don’t forge to check boxes for online service activation (enabling) since failure might result into your card rejection such services.
Upon submission, you will be told to either sit and wait for your bank VISA card (the network availability usually determines so) and or, to come back after sometimes (the good thing is that they will call you instantly your card is ready to come and pick it – so you need not to worry).
When u get the ATM Card, you will have to create an account on paypal website and then link that paypal account with your Bank debit card and to link the two, u need to go through the Paypal verification process as described below;

Hey centenary, I have tried for so many times to register my visa card on PayPal account but they tell me that my card I’d declined by the issued bank… How can I be helped ,
Hi Akram, Thanks for writing to us , we dont represent centenary bank , but if your Card was rejected it might be because it was not supported, Some years ago Centenary Cards where not supported online even on buying stuff, And sometimes some cards have to be activated to work online by the Bank, so am not sure what exactly might be the problem but u can confirm with centenary bank. If u need a quick PayPal account ,u can contact us on the contacts included on our website, Thank you
Hallo
How and where can i get a paypal card in uganda please
Paypal card???, i think u meant Bank card to use on Paypal and unfortunately if your from Uganda, U cannot receive, Uganda is restricted from Receiving. Option two will be to use our Paypal to mobile money services but still your Account should not be a Ugandan account. U cant withdraw money on a Ugandan paypal account if at all you managed to get money on it.
Use this web app link to transfer paypal to mobile money if your in Uganda or Rwanda: https://paypalcash.webvator.com
Hello, I have opened up an account for PayPal but am making some payments somewhere but they have told me to first add a phone number but I dont know the format I used use as am adding it because when I finish the whole number with the country code, they say its invalid and when I dont put the country code, still they say invalid phone number. Please help me
Can u try to sign out and enter it again.
And also make sure number on your account is verified first.
To verify go where u have your number and click on verify.
I was making payments for my Facebook page promotions and the VISA card refused
I think u should first contact your bank. Some cards are locked from working online until u request bank.
Have u ever used it to pay online because they are things u should know wen paying like card number, CSV, name. Some people put there PIN instead of CSV code
