Process

How a PayPal payment reaches you in Lebanon

PayBuddy runs a five-step process: quote, confirmation, the PayPal transaction, clearing, and local payout in Beirut. Most payments cleared before 17:00 Beirut time are paid out the same working day.

The five steps

  1. 01

    Request a quote

    Message on WhatsApp with the amount, the currency, and whether you are sending or receiving.

  2. 02

    Confirm the terms

    You get a written quote: the assistance fee, the applied rate, and the settlement time. Nothing moves until you confirm.

  3. 03

    The PayPal leg runs

    Your client pays into a verified PayPal account against your reference, or PayBuddy completes the merchant checkout for you.

  4. 04

    Funds clear

    Payout is released only after the funds clear, which protects both sides against reversals.

  5. 05

    Get paid via Whish Money

    Your payout is sent through Whish Money anywhere in Lebanon. You receive a transaction statement.

Times and limits

How long does it take?

Same working day for payments confirmed before 17:00 Beirut time. Later payments settle the next working morning.
