The company’s global reach and scale enable PayPal to have powerful insights into the online and mobile requirements of digital consumers and businesses around the globe and an advantage in leveraging data to keep its customers secure.
As digital payments become more mainstream in India as part of the Indian government’s push towards digital payments, PayPal is partnering with Government and state-owned banks on a number of initiatives including digital financial literacy programme and eTourist Visa (eTV).
