PayPal Holdings, Inc. announced it has submitted applications to the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation „to establish PayPal Bank, a proposed Utah-chartered industrial loan company”.
Since 2013, PayPal has provided access to over $30 billion in loans and working capital to more than 420,000 business accounts worldwide, filling a critical gap for small businesses seeking capital to expand, buy inventory, or invest in the people and tools needed to thrive. „As proposed, PayPal Bank would enable PayPal to provide business lending solutions more efficiently to small businesses in the U.S., while reducing reliance on third parties and strengthening PayPal’s business.” – the company said.
„Securing capital remains a significant hurdle for small businesses striving to grow and scale,” said Alex Chriss, President and Chief Executive Officer, PayPal. „Establishing PayPal Bank will strengthen our business and improve our efficiency, enabling us to better support small business growth and economic opportunities across the U.S.”
„In addition to providing small business lending solutions, PayPal Bank expects to offer interest-bearing savings accounts to customers. PayPal Bank would also seek direct membership in the U.S. with card networks to complement processing and settlement activities through existing banking relationships.” – the company explained.
If approved, customer deposits at PayPal Bank would be eligible for FDIC insurance coverage. Mara McNeill has been selected to serve as PayPal Bank’s President, with over 25 years of financial services experience in banking, commercial lending, and private equity. Before joining PayPal, she served as President and CEO of Toyota Financial Savings Bank.
