Good news, PayPal available in Indonesia

Finally, PayPal is now available in Indonesia! This is a really good news for Indonesians to use this service for their online payment solution.Prior to this announcement, Indonesian users could not apply for a PayPal account.

My fellow countrymen, especially those living here, were previously unable to send and receive payment through the PayPal service. Of course, this wasn't good since I could not even contribute online donations which require a PayPal account. I don't know what exactly happened with regard to PayPal's policy, but it could most probably be spurred on by increasing cyberfraud in Indonesia.

But now things seem better, with PayPal's decision to put Indonesia on its latest approved list. PayPal has announced that residents in 48 countries can now use PayPal in their local markets to send money online. The new markets include Indonesia, the Philippines, Croatia, Fiji, Vietnam and Jordan.

PayPal has also added support for a further 10 currencies to its Internet payment system. The latest currencies to be added are the Czech koruna, Danish krona, Hong Kong dollar, Hungarian forint, New Zealand dollar, Norwegian krona, Polish zloty, Singapore dollar, Swedish krona and Swiss franc.
