Creating a Verified Stripe Account for International Payments in Nigeria

In today's guide, we'll demonstrate how you can legitimately create a verified Stripe account in Nigeria, allowing you to receive payments from across the globe. Starting a business in Nigeria may begin with local customers who use payment processors like Flutterwave or Paystack. However, when you expand your business internationally, accepting payments from non-Nigerian customers becomes a challenge. Most international customers may not trust or recognize payment processors like Paystack, which can lead to lost business opportunities.

The ideal solution is to have a Stripe account. Unfortunately, Stripe doesn't allow individuals in Nigeria to create accounts. While you may come across various methods online suggesting fake addresses or VPNs, these shortcuts typically lead to account suspension and financial losses. In this guide, we'll reveal a legitimate way to create a Stripe account from Nigeria. This method opens up global opportunities for your business and allows you to receive payments without any issues.

Prerequisites for Creating a Stripe Account in Nigeria:

Valid ID: You'll need a valid means of identification. An international passport and Nigerian ID card should suffice.

U.S. Tax ID: This may seem intimidating but you don't need to be a U.S. resident or citizen to obtain one.

U.S. Phone Number: You'll need a genuine U.S. phone number that can make and receive calls and SMS.

Real U.S. Address: A verifiable U.S. address will be required for various forms.

U.S. Bank Account: This is crucial for withdrawing funds from your Stripe account.

How to Obtain the Necessary Requirements:

1. Register a U.S. Company:

To obtain your U.S. tax ID, phone number, address, and bank account, consider contacting a service like GONOMAD. They can assist in registering a U.S. company for you without the need for physical presence or extensive paperwork.

They will guide you through the process, requiring minimal effort from your end.

Within 7-10 business days, you'll receive your registered business documents, tax ID, U.S. address, U.S. bank account, and a U.S. phone number.

The bank account can be used to set up a dollar card.

By obtaining these documents, you can seamlessly access platforms and opportunities available to U.S. residents, including a Stripe account. The cost for this service is $399 (converted to Naira at the current exchange rate) and is a one-time fee. There are no ongoing subscription charges, making it an economical solution for expanding your business beyond Nigeria's borders.

With a registered U.S. business, you'll be able to create a Stripe account, set up a PayPal business account and receive international payments with ease.

By following this legitimate method, you'll position your business for global growth and gain access to a wide range of payment options, ensuring that your clients or customers can transact without hesitation.

In conclusion, this guide empowers Nigerian entrepreneurs to break free from the limitations of localized payment processors and expand their business horizons. It's an investment in your business's future, opening doors to a world of opportunities and financial growth. Don't let geographical boundaries restrict your entrepreneurial aspirations. With a registered U.S. company and the associated documents, you'll be well-prepared to take your business to the international stage.
