PayPal Partners With Mastercard
PayPal is looking to expand their payments network and do store payments better. In efforts to do this, they announced a partnership with Mastercard. PayPal wants to compete with “touch and pay” apps such as Apple Pay and Samsung pay, and they are hoping that partnering with credit card companies will be a step in the right direction. The partnership with Mastercard will allow PayPal users to have their card in their PayPal wallet and pay without actually having the credit card. So futuristic. (Source: TechCrunch)
