Paypal – 2020 Was A Roller-coaster Ride for the Company

One of the most important developments for the company this year – PayPal has formed an alliance with Razorpay. This alliance holds significance for the users, especially in the pandemic situation. The lack of integration between digital payment platforms often leads to hassles for business users. This tie-up is likely to make things better for companies that operate overseas.

This will also benefit small size entrepreneurs who face hassles in getting bank eligibility.

The increasing use of PayPal is a global trend. In Europe, the UK is where the service is used the most. In 2019, the number of active PayPal users in the UK reached 330 thousand, followed by Germany and France, with 312 and 96 thousand daily users respectively. PayPal’s success and growth in Europe can be attributed to the fact that the payments across country borders are performed smoothly.
