PayPal Seeks Bank Charter To Lend Directly
8.0
PayPal Holdings filed applications on Monday with the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the FDIC to establish PayPal Bank, an industrial loan company charter to directly offer loans and deposit products. The move aims to cut out third-party banks and leverage PayPal’s data and over 420,000 business accounts that received more than $30 billion in loans since 2013. Approval would speed lending, reduce costs, and expand small-business financial services.
