This morning at the BAI Retail Delivery conference, I met with Dan Schatt from PayPal to get the inside scoop on its financial innovations. Here’s what I found out:
1) It is introducing P2P payment capability with financial institutions. It is now live with USAA and will soon be developed for BancVue’s network of nearly 1300 community banks.
2) It has reached an agreement with mFoundry to bring mobile solutions that bring a native app experience to customers located all over the globe.
3) It has teamed with NCR and S1 to allow customers to send real-time P2P payments directly from ATMs to another individual with a PayPal account.
4) It is partnering with MeridianLink to allow new bank customers to fund their online bank accounts by transferring funds directly from their PayPal account.5) It has formed a relationship with ezRez Software that, starting next year, will allow consumers to use rewards points and travel miles as a “fluid currency” and deposit that money into their PayPal account. United Airlines customers will be the first to have access to this service through the MileagePlus program.
PayPal will be publishing the details about these exciting developments tomorrow, Thursday, October 13, and I will link to it here.
