We operate a global, two-sided network at scale that connects hundreds of millions of merchants and consumers. We help merchants and consumers connect, transact, and complete payments, whether they are online or in person.

We offer our customers flexibility to use their accounts to purchase and receive payments for goods and services, as well as transfer and withdraw funds. Consumers can exchange funds safely using a variety of sources, including bank accounts, PayPal or Venmo balances, branded credit products, debit cards, and up to certain cryptocurrencies. Our PayPal, Venmo, and Xoom products also make it safer and simpler for friends and family to transfer funds to each other.

We provide merchants with an endtoend payments solution that includes authorization and settlement capabilities, instant access to funds and payouts, and tools to connect with their customers, process exchanges and returns, and manage risk. We enable consumers to engage in crossborder shopping and merchants to extend their global reach while reducing the complexity of crossborder trade.

Our beliefs are the foundation for how we conduct business. We live each day guided by our core values of Inclusion, Innovation, Collaboration, and Wellness.
