PayPal: Society has Reached an Inflection Point, Moving From Physical Cash to Digital

2020-7-31 17:33

Paypal, the payment processing giant, has recorded another strong quarter with $5.26 billion in the second quarter of 2020 and added 1.7 million merchants to its ecosystem. Paypal executives got on a call recently to discuss the future of cash, and during their discussion, they noted that society had reached an “inflection point” post COVID-19 outbreak.

The executives on the call claimed that almost 70% of their customer base now fears for their health when it comes to paying in cash as it requires physical contact. This is understandable given the coronavirus pandemic has not only brought businesses to a halt, but it has also created a sense of fear among common masses over physical contact.

John Rainey, CFO of Paypal, believes the fear of physical contact has accelerated e-commerce and contactless payment by many years in just one quarter.

PayPal owned Venmo has also seen explosive growth as the total number of users reaching 60 million users. The increase in the use of Venmo is a big boost for PayPal’s plan to become the leader in the digital payment arena. Venmo was earlier used just for splitting bills, but in recent times the use case has expanded to a broader domain.

Paypal to Invest Heavily to Improve its Digital Wallet

Paypal being the payment and remittance giant does not want to miss out on the changing times and the changing dynamics in the payment arena. This is the reason they have decided to invest in their digital wallet service to ensure it is the go-to digital wallet for consumers. Paypal is also promoting the use of a QR code-based payment option through its merchants and Venmo app.

Paypal revealed that they are expecting to grow their revenue by 25% for the rest of the year.

They have also decided to finally venture into the digital asset offering through its platform, which the company has sidelined for quite some time. The payment giant has partnered with Paxos to avail of the purchase of digital assets from within the app.
