Withdraw money from PayPal to Sri Lankan Bank
Image via Wikipedia
Please refrain from using this method as GAF is no longer supporting this method. This method is no longer valid.
Though I write this article for Sri Lankans, anyone who has problem withdrawing paypal money can try this out.
As I wrote earlier Sri Lankans can’t receive payment in Paypal, so most of the users register as Indian users and receive payments. But there is an issue that you can’t cash out your money that you have in your paypal account. I was trying several ways and found out a way to cash my money. It’s a work around and you will loose small amount of money in transactions but still you can receive most of your money.
To do this you need to have three accounts
1. PayPal Account
2. Get A Freelancer Account
3. Moneybookers Account
Have you created the accounts??? I presume you have created the accounts
First login to your Get A Freelancer account ->
Go to Manage Accounts ->
Payment Transactions ->
Deposit Money ->
Choose PayPal
Now enter the amount
Click Next
Complete the transaction
Once you have withdraw the money from PayPal to Get A Freelancer, again Click on Payment transactions
Click Withdraw Money
Choose Moneybookers
Choose the amount you wanna transfer to Moneybookers
Complete the transaction
GAF will take about a week to transfer your money to Moneybookers account. From Moneybookers you can wire the money to your local bank accounts.
When you wire all you need is Bank Account Number and the SWIFT code of your bank. Search your bank’s site for SWIFT code or call their customer care and check out the SWIFT code. (Check Commercial bank Swift code)
If you still have any doubts please feel free to ask here.

[...] money using this technique, but debit card company charging a lot as fee. Found another way to withdraw money to Sri Lankan Bank. Check it out [...]
you can withdraw straight to your card , but there is a fee of 5USD. Go to your PP account and go to withdraw tab. There are two or three options , select withdraw to card
@Nishada
Even Card Company charges a lot, such as $10 as initial payment then monthly $ 3.00 for account maintenance and another $ 2.15 + upto 3% of transaction amount for each transaction and more hidden fee too!
So I’ll stick to Moneybookers
@Mayooresan,
Nice find. But ultimately the money is transferred to your local bank account as a bank wire payment am i correct? Doen’t this cost around $25 per transaction in most SL banks?
@Lightning_Struck_Tower

I wired $101.94 and I got arnd 10,906.95 LKR to my account.

Although i have not commented before, I’ve been visiting your site for a while. Keep up the great work!
“No they didn’t charge that much.

Thanks for the info. I should give this method a try.
I have a pay pal acount , but i didnt use it for any transaction. But i have verifed my credit card.
I can’t see withdarw option in my paypal account. Could you please help me to figure out this issue?
@Melani
If you’re from US then you can withdraw it to your bank account or else you can request a check from paypal.
What is your country? do they provide above service to your country? if not you can follow the method, I showed you above.
Hi Mayooresan,
thank you. I am from Sri Lanka. I made this account few months ago. i didnt use it. Now i like to use it for my ebay. Could you please clarify me how to transfer money from my credit card to paypal wise versa.
Thank you.
Dear Mayooresan,
First of all let me tell you that i am a complete noob to paypal and online money making stuff. I have several questions and would be glad if you could answer them for me.
1. I have no credit card (only a normal savings account at a local bank). Do i need a credit card to use the method described in this article?
2. Have you tried this method more than once? What would be the consequences of using this method for repeated withdrawals (monthly, etc)?
3. Does this method violate any TOS of Paypal, GetAFreelancer or Moneybrookers?
Thanks for the help and sorry for the barrage of questions.
Hey machan,
Thanks for this great info as I was struggling to find a way to do this. But I also found this post.
http://www.digitalwebtalk.com/tips-n-tricks/withdraw-paypal-money-without-bank-accounts.html
And I think it is more cheap than yours. I didn’t try it yet because I don’t have any money in Paypal.
Thanks.
Harshadewa
Here you asked to create the Indian Paypal account to follow your method ,is nt it?
Is any banks in sri lanaka which provide a debit card which can be used for online transactions?
Because my commercial bank debit card cannot be used for internet transactions. Please answer this question….
Kapila
@Mano
you can create any country account as long as you can receive money on dat account.
@Kapila
I don’t think any of Sri Lankan banks do that. Why don’t you try out for Sampath Web Card. Itz a virtual Prepaid Visa Credit Card.
dear all,
above artical mentioned that i can transfer money from the money booker,so do i need to have NRFC account to do that or its automatically convert it to the local currency and put to the account?how long money booker take to finish the transaction?
thank you all thank you so much who wrote this artical.
@Dammika
No, you don’t have to have a NRFC account. Only a normal Saving account will do, bank will do the conversion part for you, therefore no worries.
Moneybookers takes around 4 dayz to transfer money.
thank you so much for your quick feed back
Hi. I normally browse these paypal related sites. What about 2co method ? Open a 2co a/c (fee US$49). Now receive funds from paypal, bank wire, etc. Now either request a check from 2co or apply for a Payoneer prepaid MasterCard from 2co. So you can withdraw your 2co funds from any ATM in Srilanka from MasterCard ATMs. But…it may cost about 12% on transferring charges. Bcoz the payment mode is: PayPal-> 2Co-> Payoneer. Make sense…?
@Yasas
I considered Payoneer method. Even I have that card, but they are useless as they are charging loads of fee as commission. In above process we’ll loose little amount as commission compare to your method.
hi,
i registerd as a sri lankan user at the paypal account and i didnt put my credit/debit card informations.and its personal account.now one of my client wants to send 170$ to my paypal account can it be done?the other thing is dont use scriptlance to send the money to the money booker becuse scriptlance hold the money for 30 days at the first time,becuse i know i did few project their and i cant get money till i complete my 30days their
.how long get a free lancer get to gget the money from the paypal?
thank you
@Dammika
you registered as Sri Lankan users, therefore you can’t receive money in PayPal.
I never used ScriptLance! I used getafreelancer only and it worked for me well with Moneybookers. Even this month I used this feature to withdraw money to bank.
Using the above method I’m mentioned, we can get the money within 2 weeks.
hi again,
so if i registerd as a inidian user at the paypal can i send and recive money using your method?
thank you
Yes you can!
Hi,
I tried paypal>getafreelancer>moneybookers.com, but got suspended by Getafreelancer because it’s against their policies (transfering money). Need to find another way.
Please help. We know you can find another. GAF is very good, but they dont let you do it
. Need to find another site. 
@Yoshitha
This is the first time I heard such thing!!!
You got penalized in your first attempt?? I have done it several times!
@Yoshitha
whats they saying?i mean get a freelancer when u transfering money to the money booker?they did block you when u tranfering money from paypal to GAF or from GAF to money bookers?
I created Indian PayPal account. And I understand about the process also, but do I have to create MoneyBrooker and FreeLancer account also as indian or can I create as Srilankan?
Please reply soon.
HI buddy,
If you create an Indian moneybookers account how are you gonna transfer the money to Sri Lankan bank???
Understand the concept clearly and proceed.
You have to create Sri Lankan Moneybookers account. GAF account is not depending!
[...] You may know that, as a Sri Lankan user, you can’t receive money in PayPal but I found a Work around to Withdraw PayPal Money to Sri Lankan Bank [...]
Hi!
I’m thinking of launching my e-store soon. If i use paypal and ask my brother to open a bank account in US and enter these details to Paypal, Then i can withdraw any money thru him, right? is this a viable workaround for those sri lankans who have a trustworthy person in USA? Thanks!
@Maskara
mmm.. I guess you’ll have problem. Because your PayPal name and Bank Account holder’s name are different.
What you can do is, Open a PayPal account in your US friend’s name and then add his Bank account details. It’ll do. If your friend or cousin is not trust worthy, don’t even think of trying this method.
Hi !
Thanks for your reply. So It seems like a doable option if i trust somebody in the US? I don’t have a choice so I might take a chance.
Regards,
Maskara.
@Maskara
Gud luck Bro
hi,
i got suspended by the get a freelancer when tried to transfer money to the money booker.100is still at the getafreelancer dont know what do to.
@Dammika
It seems for few people it happens. I use my GAF account to find jobs (and I did find few) and to transfer money.
They don’t seems to care about the money transfer I make.
It’s a bad scene macho!
Just think that…if we are freelancers working for a biz or individual, or with some physical customers (rather than just reading emails, or with PPC programmes etc), then- Api PayPal issaraha dhana gahanna onadha ? – I requested some of my customers to pay me via AlertPay. It works. Create free account. They’ll wire funds. Send and receiv funds to anyone with an email. (But currently they have a credit card outage!). Or why not Money bookers ? Free account and cheap! Or atleast 2Co ?!
Any ideas ?
I have a paypal account. I am a member since 2007.
Recently I joined a site called pickjack, and they have paid me to my paypal acount, Transactions were done on 11th apr. Still I haven’t received money to my paypal account. Y is that? I selected the country as SriLanka. Is that the problem or ?.????
Let me know ?
your country is not eligible to receive money in PayPal??? a work-around for you http://tinyurl.com/7tn3dl #PayPal #Money
Also you can buy some goods using paypal balance and sell them here with a profit. From online auctions you can find goods for less price. But you can sell them for market price or little less in sri lanka. This method gives you more money than simply paying money transfering charges. But this method is little complex and not viable for all.
ND’s last blog post..No More Database Programming Needed !
GAF don’t let you to transfer your money directly from paypal to Payoneer. That method doesn’t work. They review the withdrawal, also its not a wise idea to create indian paypals, someday paypal ask you to submit your documents to verify your identity. If you fail, they close the account with all the money.
Hi Mayooresan ..
There’s a website sends money to free lance works ,It only allows paypal . I am a srilankan ? Plz can u tell me what is the best way to recieve money from paypal? (I know paypal allows send money only…here..:( )
Plz help me
Hi. How R U all guys ? I could not visit this for more than 2 months. Still we r talking about funds from PayPal. Foreigners may use this time to shape their product / service. But we have to think TRICKS to receive funds from PayPal. We should find a long lasting solution for this. We can do this by approaching Univ of Moratuwa and via that making some arrangements from higher places such as Central Bank etc. This is possible if all of us could get together. (I have my own biz. So I use AlertPay). Bye
And,
This is the ultimate solution for this. As someone said, these tricks or any such may be detected by paypal, resulting a/c close ups. Many freelancing projects etc worth $$$$ go missing every year, just bcoz of NO paypal. So every such IT guy should get together from their remote locations and approach Officials. I know it will take time and a daunting task as this is related to SL govt. But if it worked, it will be great. Not just for us, but for our children, under the globalization conditions.
Last year i read this article… its helpful.. BUT,
Are we Sri lankan’s living under the Big Giant ROCK?
i agree with Yasas. why you depend on paypal always? i am a digital artist & i sell artworks internationally & get paid every month. i don’t tell am the best..but i do my best as compare with other graphics/digital/artist in sri lanka.
First you guys understand the what are the online transaction policies in each payment methods.
i requested to my customers pls pay me through alert pay.
Its such a damn thing transferring money to another 03 accounts. If u are stucked why solutions? any guarantee?
Finally This comment may be not posted. may be deleted.
@ website Owner
How much you own per month posting those 03 affiliate links??
1. PayPal Account
2. Get A Freelancer Account
3. Moneybookers Account
You are damn smart in online money business…

@Moasa
Hey bro, thankz for dropping and commenting on my site. I wrote this article because it’ll open new doors for the people who are trapped.
True, we can try Altertpay, but how many clients are ready to try Alertpay??? I’ve personally requested many clients and they’re not interested at all
. You’ve to accept the bitter truth.
Regarding affiliate marketing. Mmm.. I don’t think there is anything wrong here as this is a win win situation for both my readers and myself. Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective way of making money online.
Btw I didn’t make much money online through this post. So far I made around $15 only.
Wish you good luck with your endeavours. Thankz for dropping in the comment. I like to see more criticism from you
Please do visit my site and continue to comment.
@ Mayooresan
hi Bro.. Sorry for tough comment.. any way i have to tell another thing. Regarding Online marketing your the best blogger in sri lanka. I saw that your contents & facts are really fresh.
As a Sri lankan i appreciate ur web. Because this is international type.
about customer your right. Many International customers are being with paypal.
I remember that i used “western union money transfer several” times.
but we have to change this. my opinion is always try to KIT with customer for reasonable transaction. Before you got freelance jobs asked them what are the payment options. don’t afraid to ask that…

[...] a Sri Lankan PayPal user? No, you can’t receive money. You can read my work around to check how to receive money via PayPal and get it down to your local [...]
Machan, Can one receive money to his paypal account being a Sri Lankan? By selling goods or other means.How did you receive money? I treid to send money to another Sri Lankan Paypal account but it is not allowed since its a Sri Lankan Paypal account.To withdraw money you must first receive money to your account?
Please clarify
@Rorane
Hi machan, Sri Lankan users can send money but can’t receive money. Read the article machan it gives you a work around.
You can send money from your credit card no? so you don’t have to receive money to send money. If you link your credit card with PayPal account then they’ll automatically deduct the amount from your credit card and send it to the receiver.
Why you have to go through all this trouble when you can easily withdraw money to your credit card registering as an Indian………
Eranda´s last blog ..How Do I Get My Own WebSite Onto The Web?
If Eranda is true.we can create Indian account and transfer money straight to CC.anyone tried that system??
reply from paypal regarding receiving funds to Sri Lanka..this may help u all guys.yesterday it came from paypal support to me.
————————————————–
I understand that you want to know why you cannot receive money, right/
1how can i receive payments to my bank account. we can’t use credit card
to receive money in sri lanka.
I am sorry to tell you that you could not use your bank account or
PayPal account or credit card to receive money. Currently, PayPal does
not support Sri Lanka users to receive funds by PayPal accounts. Your
PayPal account can only be used to send money, and your credit card is
the funding source if you want to send money to others. Therefore, you
may add your credit card to verify your account and send money. This
function was limited by your local financial and governmental
regulations. We are working actively to extend our business and let more
users to use our service conveniently, but currently you are still not
allowed to receive money.
We do hope you can use your account to receive funds as soon as
possible. Thanks very much for your support.

I hope this helps some of u guys regarding this serious paypal issue for SL.according to this our SL government must do something about this.I m another one of u who s really angry with this issue.ahhh we are still living in 18th century.may be we r running backwards..ohh I forgot yes we r running backwards.currently we have a King as president lol.
That is what I always say… why we waste our time ? MoneyBookers and AlertPay support Srilanka. If PayPal only which can not support means, perhaps they may have some negative rules which the SL govt thinks not favourable. PP is not “thoththa babas”! So for one reason or other, they do not wish to support SL. So lets find alternatives… Money Bookers and AlertPay work well in SL. Do you know many people prefer them over PayPal in the West….?
Hi,
I have an paypal account. But unfortunately I am unable to receive money. pickjack is a good site for earning. But without receiving facility I cannot get payments. dear guys pls find a solution.
Hi,
If I withdraw money straight to my commercial bank account can I avoid those fees ?
what type of sri lankan visa cards can i use to verify and withdraw money from paypal??
i mean, what sri lnkan bank cards are supporting??
Hey… men… the discussion is about ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO RECEIVE FUNDS TO SRILANKA FROM PAYPAL. So just by seeing the heading, Sahan and Ashton cant you guys understand NONE of the bank cards can be used to withdraw paypal funds to SL ? Not Commercial bank, even if you have HSBC account, when it comes to paypal in Srilanka… sorry thamai…!!! :-l
The author is revealing a way to withdraw money from Paypal to SL by using GAF. We simply upload funds from Paypal to GAF and withdraw the meoney from there. So the part I need answers is after money comes to GAF. After we take the money from our Pyapal account to GAF account, there we can withdraw them to a GAF debit card or Commercial Bank account. As far as I’m concerned the Payoneeer card has lots of fees. That’s why I asked about commercial bank
@Aston
hey man I didn’t try this method for a long time. Early days we need transfer money again from GAF to Moneybookers to wire the money to Sri Lankan bank.
Yes you can use the GAF debit card but it has very high fee which would eat good amount of our fortune.
Hi yes. Thanks for clarification… I too did not know about a GAF debit card. I am fortunate enough to have HUMAN CUSTOMERS. So I use AlertPay. Recently some of my customers paid via Western Union. They said they pay ONLINE by Western Union. I did not ask much about it… but always I have thought a person MUST visit an agent to initiate a money transfer via western union. However, lets move towards a HUMAN customer base, than Google Click etc..
hi,
i am about get paid around 350USD for my online data entry work. Please help as to how i can get this cash into my local commercial bank account. the payer says he will only pay through PayPal. i have a sri lankan pay pal account where i cant receive money. so please help me and guide me how to go about it? if i open a new Indian paypal account will the pay pal detect and seize all funds?? please help
hah..ha….Ravi, please read all the posts from the top…… and which “legit” company paying for data entry work ????? May be there… I don say every company is cheating… But may I know the name of it ? You can not receive PayPal funds from SL account or if you have an Indian a/c, you can not withdraw them either…. Please read those posts….
Hi machan,
Can u pls tell me hw can we confirm that money has been tranfered from getafreelancer account to moneybookers account, u told process take a week, do they confirm us by e-mail????,,, straightafter the moneybookers confirm can we wire it with the bank?????
yes they’ll send you a confirmation email.
Please refrain from using this method as GAF is no longer supporting this method. This method is no longer valid??
Yes not valid anymore
I like all your post.Great job.I also having thia problem.I am doing buissnes on ebay.Now I cant receive money to my sri lanka PP.If we open a Indian PP,Cant we withdraw money to srilankan CC by using “withdraw your funds to CC”OPTION.If anybody has used this methord pls comment.My other question is can we open a Indian account from srilanka.Will they ditect it.Do we have to use a indian fellow to open a Indian PP.
Hope your comment
Thanks
dear mayooresan. i have a sampath webcad. as you said indian or us paypal accounts has option to withdraw money to credit/debit card. can i register for us paypal account, add my webcard and withdraw money to it? tnaks
Hi, I’m a freelancer and I’m earning a pretty decent amount, and I’m withdrawing my funds thru Payoneer (Cash thru an ATM), but there’s a one prob I’m getting. For onetime I only can withdraw Rs20000, so if I want to withdraw Rs50000, I have to put my card four times and means I have to pay $ 2*4 = 8 per withdrawal + the commission,
Any suggestions ? and can u put up ur email address ?
hi..please let me know,can i do the payment via pay pal because western union can’t up load money.that same scenario is applied to this ?
