  @PayPal I need a customer agent in the executive offices to reach out to me in regards to a unresolved issue on a debit card fraud issue and replacement card! Your international customer service is a joke and I’ve wasted 8 hours dm me a phone number to the executive offices in US

  Western Union $WU is down 70% from its 2021 high. Wall Street has written it off as a dying remittance giant getting eaten by Wise, Remitly, PayPal, and crypto. Our lead researcher, @moxt_, thinks Wall St is missing the second business growing in the background (bookmark this). Here's what he's seeing: Yes, the legacy retail business is shrinking. Q1 2026 revenue came in at $983M, margins compressed to 13% from 18-19%, EPS missed by 35-40%. That part isn't coming back. But it's one of two businesses on the same network. Digital transactions grew 21% YoY and now account for 42% of remittance volume. Travel money and bill pay revenue grew 24%. Management is guiding 2026 to 5-8% revenue growth and adjusted EPS of $1.75-$1.85, the first growth year after multiple years of decline. Either guidance is wrong, or the stock pice is. $WU runs 360,000 active agent locations across 200+ countries and 130 currencies. About 90% of those are outside the U.S., concentrated in the corridors where banking access is weakest and remittance demand is highest. Which means the moat isn't the agents themselves, but what has to exist around them: Money transmitter licenses in nearly every U.S. state plus equivalent permissions in 200+ countries, accumulated over a century. AML, KYC, sanctions screening, and FX conversion infrastructure across 130 currencies means any new entrant is looking at a 5-7 year build to replicate it. So does this network get more or less valuable when money moves onchain? The rest of the payments industry is voting with their checkbooks... - PayPal shipped $PYUSD. - Stripe paid $1.1B for Bridge. - Visa is integrating $USDC for cross-border settlement. - MoneyGram has been running a USDC off-ramp on Stellar since 2022. USDC settles in seconds, but a recipient in rural Mexico or the Philippines still needs pesos. Somebody has to handle the last mile. WU already does. @moxt_ maps four revenue streams: 1. Off-ramp fees from third-party stablecoins ($70-810M at maturity) 2. Working capital release from $USDPT ($300M one-time) 3. Reserve income on USDPT float ($12-18M recurring) 4. Internal FX/wire savings. Owning USDPT is what turns WU from a stablecoin off-ramp partner into a stablecoin company that happens to own the largest off-ramp network in the world. All of that said... the risks are real. State-by-state stablecoin reserve recognition could stall, crypto-native off-ramp specialists could fragment the opportunity, legacy pricing pressure could outpace the pivot, and ~35% of CMT revenue comes from U.S. outflows, which makes immigration policy a macro overlay. None individually kills the opportuntiy - but two together would. So is the current price of ~$9.20 enough to justify a position, or do the risks dominate? @moxt_ put a verdict on it in his latest Milk Road PRO report... To get his buy/sell verdict and the price levels he's watching, check the link in the first comment.

  PENGU generated $40m in merchandise revenue, hit 100b GIF impressions, launched a payment card with 100k signups in 24 hours, got an ETF filing from canary capital, testified before congress, and integrated with venmo/paypal through paxos. token is down 84% from ATH. the reason is simple. zero on-chain revenue accrual. no smart contract buybacks. no revenue share. "governance" over an IP you don't own. in may a pudgy wallet moved 137m PENGU ($1.5m) to OKX, bybit, gate, and bitget. price dropped 7%. that's not a buyback program. optimistic math: $40m revenue, 25% to buybacks, $10m annual buy pressure on a $655m FDV. that's a 1.5% yield. pendle PT-USDe pays 6.8%. ethena sUSDe pays 7.53%. solana staking pays 7%. the IP is a legitimate business. the token is structurally disconnected from every dollar it generates. mechanism beats narrative, every single time.

  A year ago basically two companies issued stablecoins. Circle and Tether. That was the market. Today 20 banks and tech giants are in line to issue their own through Anchorage. Western Union. PayPal. Fiserv. List goes on. The GENIUS Act passed and the floodgates opened. Every major financial institution now wants its own dollar onchain.

  @PayPal, I am extremely dissatisfied with your service. I have forgotten my password, and the response I received is unacceptable. Your support is not available late, nor do you provide a chat assistant for account-related issues. 🙄 Now, I have to wait until tomorrow to complete a transfer. This is absurd.

  PayPal is pushing a turnaround plan, but its latest earnings beat didn’t win over investors. Revenue rose 4% to $8.7 billion in Q4 2025, slightly below forecasts, and branded checkout growth slowed to 1%. The miss sent shares down over 20%, and CEO Alex Chriss stepped down effective March 1, with HP’s Enrique Lopez taking over. Management also cut its full-year outlook to flat or low single-digit growth, citing weak demand in travel, crypto, and gaming. - World Business News.

  Is AI replacing human's workforce? The crypto and payment world is seeing a wave of massive layoffs, and many CEOs are pointing the finger at "AI transition" as the reason. Since Block cut its staff in half earlier this year, big names like Coinbase, PayPal, and Gemini have all followed suit, claiming they need to become "lean" and "AI-native." PayPal, for instance, plans to cut 20% of its team to save $1.5 billion, while 0G Labs recently let go of a quarter of its workers. However, many experts aren't buying the AI excuse. They call it "AI washing", using tech buzzwords to hide basic business struggles. The reality is that #Bitcoin is down significantly from its recent peak, trading is slow, and competition is fierce. Companies like Block simply hired too many people during the boom years, and now they are forced to trim the fat. Investors are reacting with mixed feelings: Block’s stock jumped 38% after their announcement. PayPal saw a 12% dip. Coinbase shares also slid about 4%. Whether these cuts are truly about high-tech efficiency or just a way to survive a tough market remains to be seen. Shared via CoinEx Creator Program. @CoinExCreators #CoinEx #CoinExCreator

  Companies like @PayPal keeping our money hostage and taking large fees while forcing AI and Indian staff down our throat really pisses me off. Maybe they want the bad PR until they get their **** together.

  @end3of6days9 I recently paid off my PayPal Mastercard I've had for over 10 years. Within 2 days of paying my account balance off my credit limit was cut from $17,500.00 down to $380.00. Total BS cost me 18 points on my credit score.

  ⚡ PayPal and Google Cloud just said agentic commerce at scale needs crypto rails. Open payment protocols. Machine-readable catalogs. Multi-party custody. Translation: AI agents buying and selling autonomously can't run on legacy banking. Too slow, too closed, too human. This isn't hype. This is infrastructure mapping. #Crypto #Payments 👉 @coingonet

  The first PayPal alert he ever got was $12. He screenshotted it four times. Sent it to nobody. Just sat in the dark at 1:47am in his family house, phone brightness all the way down so his parents wouldn't see the light under the door. That amount was not serious money at that time. But he sat there for a long time. Because he had just proved something to himself that nobody could take back. The first online payment doesn't feel like money. It feels like permission.

  I'm having a similar issue. I got a new debit card, but PayPal gave me this notification. They did it because they found it suspicious. They ask me to confirm my card, but it's my old debit card that's blocked. I wanna remove the old card, but PayPal won't let me do it.

  @Mr_Derivatives SOFI's product and non-existent customer service is terrible. It makes me wonder how long they can sustain any growth with such a terrible product. I know Paypal manages it, but the provide a fairly unique service, where as SOFI has less services than a regular bank. There can only be so many new suckers.

  Cards that usually work best: • Grey .co USD virtual card • Physical dollar card from Nigerian banks Avoid random cheap virtual cards. That’s where many people run into PayPal issues.

  So I ordered $18 of items on @AliExpress . The address was wrong and the delivery agent had disposed of my package before I even was aware of the issue. How to deal with this, who to contact? I paid with Paypal but they want us to deal with AliExpress first. How? So confusing.

  @nobelprimal just use khalti; you can issue invoices via stripe; for paypal; the workaround is you just create account; dont link bank; let the money deposit; pay a small commission to middleman to retrieve in bulk

  I have been using PayPal in Uganda for now 6+ years and have had no issues. So I'm speaking with a lot of experience. Yesterday I even withdrew 1.7m ugx from my PayPal to Stanbic and in 30 seconds it had reached my bank account. I can do the same with Equity, DFCU and even UBA. Instant withdrawal from PayPal business to my bank account. Just don't try to circumvent the system, pay their transaction fees, you will enjoy PayPal.
