How to Tell if Your Money is Old or New
As of November 27, 2022, Free Shipping on Us is no longer available. Customers looking for other shopping benefits and ways to save can take advantage of a range of features in the PayPal app. More information can be found here.
 
PayPal announced its first global brand campaign as an independent company during this year’s Big Game and we’re eager to share our vision for the future of money, payments and commerce. Old money is rigid, inflexible and exclusive. New Money is faster, simpler and offers a more inclusive way to manage and move money. It leverages technology to grant access to the full range of financial services through mobile devices, tablets and computers. While old money makes you work for it, New Money works for you.
 
So how can you tell if your money is old or new? Allow us to explain:
 
OVERSEAS

Old Money: Sending money in a bottle, standing in line for a Cashier’s Check – don’t forget to check business hours! -  or waiting for your Wire Transfer to process when sending money overseas.
New Money: Sending, spending or selling around the globe when it’s convenient for you – anytime, any day. PayPal processes and converts 26 currencies from 203 markets, making your overseas transactions simple and secure.
 
WIND

Old Money: Paper cash.
New Money: PayPal’s digital wallet. Securely store all your credit cards, debit cards and bank accounts, then choose how to pay at checkout or when sending money. We monitor transactions 24/7, so rest easy – even when you let your guard down, we won’t.
DROP

Old Money: Dealing with the hassle of a lengthy return process to replace an incorrect or damaged item.
New Money: Ordering with peace of mind knowing you’re covered by PayPal’s Purchase Protection – we’ll reimburse you for the full purchase price plus any original shipping costs for qualifying transactions. We’ll even refund shipping costs for eligible purchases made with PayPal*
Terms apply.
SHARE

Old Money: Feeling like a freeloader when you’ve left your wallet at home or worrying about getting paid back when covering the group bill.
New Money: Tap. Send. Done. No need to offer an IOU or request a check - pay and get paid directly from your mobile device using PayPal.Me or from within the PayPal app.
