PYPL
Demand Weakening
New Projects/Investments
- PayPal has transformed its financial profile, shifting transaction margins from negative to an expected 6–7% growth in 2025, with the PSP processing business now profitable and on track to 2× transaction margin dollars by FY27.
- Mid-September saw a slowdown in discretionary spending among middle and lower-income consumers, persisting into Q4, prompting PayPal to pivot towards buy-now, pay-later (BNPL), which grew 20% in volume and active accounts and is projected at $40 billion in FY25; moving BNPL presentment upstream boosts conversion by ~10%.
- Venmo experienced an inflection point: pay with Venmo volume nearing $10 billion in FY25, with pay-in-Venmo and Venmo debit card volumes growing 40% and 65%, respectively; partnerships (e.g., Taco Bell, Sephora, Bilt) and the upcoming PayPal World interoperability are set to extend its merchant and P2P reach.
- Branded checkout is being overhauled, replacing a 15-year-old mobile flow with a one-click passkey-based experience that yields a 1–5 point conversion uplift; rollout aims to scale from 20% to 80% of global branded traffic by 2027, with legacy integrations to be deprecated.
- PayPal is positioning to lead in agentic commerce, leveraging its trusted two-sided network with Google, OpenAI, and Perplexity integrations, offering developers a commerce API for catalog access and ensuring buyer protection via its KYC-vetted wallet ecosystem.

- Venmo pay-with-Venmo volume reached $10 billion in FY 2025, and revenue is poised to surpass $2 billion soon; the upcoming PayPal World rollout will interoperate PayPal, Venmo and global wallets to broaden merchant acceptance.
- A rebuilt online checkout using passkeys enables one-click flow and yields 1–5 point conversion improvements; 20% of branded volume has been migrated so far, targeting 80% by 2027 despite bespoke integration challenges.
