The new app includes a personalized dashboard of a customer’s PayPal account, a wallet tab to manage payment instruments, and a payments hub that includes send and receive money features, international remittances, charitable and non-profit giving, and a new two-way messaging feature to send notes of acknowledgment after peer-to-peer transactions.

Introducing Two-Way Messaging in the PayPal App

The new PayPal app also introduces a new, private two-way messaging feature which will enable two users to communicate after they have conducted a peer-to-peer money transfer, whether to acknowledge receipt, send a note of thanks, confirm details of the transaction or more, directly within the app experience.

Two-way messaging enhances the peer-to-peer send and receive money functionality in the PayPal app, offering a new way for two PayPal customers to connect when sending money for Friends and Family as well as Goods and Services transactions. Two-way messaging is rolling out to customers internationally in the coming weeks.

In the coming months, availability of the PayPal Generosity Network will expand to select markets outside of the U.S., starting with the U.K. and Germany, with more markets to follow. The Generosity Network provides PayPal customers with a way to directly connect with millions of people who can help them raise money on behalf of a cause close to their heart, within the new PayPal app.

To start experiencing the new PayPal app, make sure you’re running the latest operating system on your mobile device, and have updated the PayPal app from the app store.
