  @kenaviba @jacobreis1996 Venmo is not accepting my bank account details. In the meantime, I have PayPal and Zelle (preferred). I hope one of those options will work for you, otherwise I will work to resolve the Venmo issue. Please let me know 🙏 And thank you in advance.

  I work click and collect. The system is simple. Buy online, bring the card you paid with, collect your parcel. It says so in the email. Second line. A man came in for his parcel. Me: Do you have the card you purchased with? Him: No. Me: Can you get the last four digits of the card number? Him: No. Me: Can you contact whoever has the card? Or check PayPal or Amazon? They display the last four digits. Him: It's my girlfriend's card. Me: I can't release the parcel without proof of purchase. I'm sorry. Him: That's MY parcel. MY name is on it. Me: I understand. I still can't release it without those digits. Him: How was I supposed to know I needed the card? Me: It's in the email we sent you. Him: No it isn't. Me: It is. Him: I'll prove it isn't. Me: Go ahead. Him: (checked his phone) Him: (found the email) Him: (read the second line) Him: Oh for ...... I never read that far down. Me: If you can get those four digits I can release it right now. Him: No. I want a refund. Me: I still need the card for that. Him: Then you know what you can do with it. Me: (completely calm) Me: I'd need the card for that too. Him: (stared at me) Me: (stared back) Me: (the parcel is still there) Me: (it will be there when he finds the card) Me: (it will be there for a while)

  PYPL PayPal. Down massively from its peak. Now trading at ~8x earnings and ~8x free cash flow. Dirt cheap for a business this scale. 439 million active accounts. $1.79 trillion in annual TPV. Wall Street has written it off. Meanwhile the business keeps printing.

  Stripe walked away from crypto in 2018. Said it was too slow. Too volatile. Not ready. They just came back. USDC, live, real merchants, real transactions. Not just Stripe. Visa is now settling money between banks using USDC on Ethereum. PayPal built PYUSD and loaded it into 430 million wallets. Tether and USDC move more dollars per year than Visa's card network. Read that again. Here's why this is happening: wiring money between banks takes 3 days and costs up to $25. USDC lands in seconds. Any time. Sundays. Holidays. 3am. For a few cents. Visa's current system takes 2 days to actually move the money after you swipe your card the "instant" you see on your phone is an IOU. USDC settles for real while you're still putting your wallet away. The companies that built how you pay for everything looked at blockchain rails, compared them to what they're running now, and said: this is better. So they switched. Stripe, Visa, PayPal these aren't crypto companies. They're the backbone of global commerce. And they all chose the same infrastructure. That's not a bet on crypto. That's crypto winning.

  @InTheAssembly One of the problems with Paypal is Paypal is still kind of antiquated in how it uses its payment rails. It has 400 million registered users but how many of them are dormant I know I am. I hate Paypal I’d much rather use Shopify or Google pay it’s faster and easier plus dealing with Paypal. It’s always a pain in the butt. Maybe the CEO can do something.

  Onboarding new tech is best dome seamlessly - as few actions as possible, and fewer "decisions". Same goes for RWAs, tokenization, Web 3.0, whatever words we use. "Click here for a 50% discount on your remittance fee with our new high-speed program." One-click. As a parallel, let's look at mobile APIs. 50% of the people using them probably never heard the term. 99% of users don't even have a basic technical understanding of what coding language to use for an efficient secure application programming interfaces. That doesn't stop an estimated 4-6 million people from using mobile APIs regularly. (Sign in with Google/Apple, Pay with PayPal)

  @RaenestApp Hi Raenest team, I'm yet to receive my new USD account details. It's been 8 long days now, even though you claimed that it'll be 2-5 days. My salary was delayed for too long, so I had to force myself to use PayPal. Now a fraction of my salary has been locked up. Please fix this!

  @Uzwzp63636 They should be, but the algos seem to hate PayPal for pretty much everything, macro concerns, AI fears, government data releases, you name it. The bigger issue is that investors simply don't trust this management team. The market wants urgency, execution, and accountability $PYPL

  PayPal is being priced as a melting ice cube. The capital return says otherwise. The setup: $5.23B of net income against a $36.5B market cap. That’s a 14.3% earnings yield — roughly triple a 10-year Treasury, on a $33B - revenue payments network, not a distressed cyclical. What the multiple implies: at 7.8x earnings versus ~20x for the index, the market is underwriting structural, terminal decline — flat-to-negative growth in perpetuity. That is the bet embedded in $PYPL today, whether or not anyone says it out loud. What management is actually doing: $6.05B of buybacks last year — equal to 16.6% of the entire market cap repurchased in a single fiscal year, funded entirely from operating cash flow, not leverage. At a depressed multiple, every dollar retired compounds per-share value faster than it would at any point in the last decade. The asymmetry: you’re being paid a double-digit earnings yield to wait, while the share count shrinks underneath you. Down 48% from the high, consensus has stopped paying attention. Re-rating is optional. The buyback isn’t. The first is upside; the second is the floor.

  Being CFO isn't always formal meetings and spreadsheets. Sometimes it's managing a full-blown payment crisis from Thailand, too. Two payment rails went dark in the same week, and PayPal got blocked. The primary bank stopped receiving payments, both at the same time. Here's what actually happened.. We're mid-migration, moving assets across geographies, and the system flagged it automatically. The bank issue was on their end. But when two of your main ways to move money go down at once, you don't get to wait around for an explanation. Especially not from a beach in Phuket. So we shifted our affiliate payments to a new format that we were already planning to build anyway. Incoming payments were rerouted to the secondary bank we had set up and running. >No affiliate missed a payment. >No customer was affected. The whole team held it together quietly while it was happening. This was a lesson worth remembering, so we extended the runway, cleaned up some operational gaps, and put buffers in place while waiting for the revenue from our investments to kick in. Sometimes you build these buffers not because you expect chaos. You build them because chaos can just be another Tuesday. Even when that Tuesday is in Thailand. All systems are stable, our affiliates are paid, and payments are flowing. So if you're building and haven't set up your secondary rails yet, do it before you need them.

  The difference between a legitimate reward platform and a fake one comes down to three things. Real brand partnerships: not invented offers. Transparent payout terms: before you start, not after. Actual withdrawal options: bank, crypto, PayPal. Not only gift cards.

  This whole #Outlier banning Nigerians saga is annoying. But let me shift your perspective to the bigger issue The system was never really designed with Nigerians in mind in the first place. Over the years, Nigerians have been blocked, restricted or heavily scrutinized on platforms like: PayPal receiving Stripe Atlas Wise Mercury Outlier TikTok Creativity Program Certain US fintech apps The painful reality is that once Nigeria enters the conversation online, many global systems immediately switch into fraud-prevention mode. That stigma is affecting millions of honest, talented Nigerians trying to work globally. This is bigger than VPNs. It’s a reputation and trust crisis attached to an entire country.
