PayPal Starts Selling PayPal Here at AT&T Stores, Teams Up with MoneyGram

Thumbnail image for PayPalLogo.jpg

Online payments platformPayPal made two key announcements earlier this week.

First, it announced that PayPal Here is being sold at 1,800 AT&T stores nationwide. The payment dongle costs $15, but you can recoup that money after signing up for a PayPal Here account. In comparison, PayPal Here competitor, Square, sells for $10 with a $10 credit.

Second, the payments company announced a partnership with MoneyGram, a global money-transfer service.

Through this partnership, PayPal users will be able to deposit cash and withdraw funds from MoneyGram’s 280,000 brick-and-mortar locations worldwide. Using MoneyGram, underbanked consumers can load their PayPal account with cash and pay online using PayPal instead of with a prepaid card.

PayPal expects to piloted this service in the U.S. in early 2013, and roll it out gradually after that.
