Obtaining a banking license will allow PayPal to offer a broader range of financial products and better control its operations within the US. It also reflects fintech industry trends where companies integrate traditional banking services to compete with established financial institutions.
In the future, the license could boost PayPal’s customer base, increase user trust, and enable the company to provide more flexible and comprehensive digital financial solutions.
