PayPal Announces New Deals with BancVue, mFoundry, USAA, & More

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on
Categories: BancVue, mFoundry, PayPal

Thumbnail image for PayPalLogo.jpgThis 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. 

To learn more about PayPal, BancVue, and mFoundry, check out PayPal’s FinovateSpring 2011 demo here, BancVue’s FinovateSpring 2011 demo here, and mFoundry’s FinovateFall 2010 demo here.

Notes:

1. We reviewed 255 unique sites. Data was unavailable or irrelevant for 201 sites because: 

  • They had been acquired.
  • They were no longer available online.
  • They were not covered by Compete for various reasons (including some that were not U.S. domestic companies).
  • The number of unique visits was too small to be considered accurate.
  • They were subdomains of larger websites.

2. Numbers have been rounded to three significant digits.

3. The charts include companies that did not have measurable traffic in May 2011, indicated by “N/A.”

4. Compete draws its information from the online activity of a panel of more than 2 million U.S. Internet users. It is only an estimate of traffic, and may undercount at-work usage.
