If there is any company I trust the least right now, it would be PayPal.
For me, PayPal isn't at the top of that list. But they're up there.

Do you mean "overtook?"
Jealous, wish I had the superpower of knowing every other person's motivations for their actions =). Choice is a good thing, but the reason some may worry is that PayPal by many may be considered less secure or privacy orientated and not desire to PayPal but worry that PayPal may stop offering Apple Pay support once this takes off. Hopefully if that happens you'll be first here in the comments to chastise them for removing freedom of choice =). The otherdown side is if PayPal ends up having hacks or data issues, people may then start trusting Apple Pay less since people may consider it the same.Great news! More choice and freedom for consumers in the European Union. In advance, those who downvote me clearly dislike freedom of choice. LOL.
PayPal is still around? I remember them from the antique days of the web. Not sure if I've used them since 2010 or so. But to each their own.
Funding can be from a bank account, a credit or debit card, or a PayPal balance from money you receive.Not that I pay using my phone that often and i use Android not an Iphone, but even so I don't see the point in using Paypal.
If you use Android pay or what ever, they call it now or Apple pay then the money comes directly out of your bank account or from your credit card. Is that going to happen with Paypal?
A cut of each transactionI know people say it is good to havce choice, but what does Apple get out of Apple Pay?
One benefit would be that it is platform neutral, unlike Apple Pay. If you decide to switch to android, everything is already set up for you.Not that I pay using my phone that often and i use Android not an Iphone, but even so I don't see the point in using Paypal.

Using an Android phone I have the choice to use what ever payment system I like, I used to use a Curve card on my Fitbit watch, because at the time, my bank was not supported until Google took over Fitbit. But that was not instant, and I normally got on my bank account aldi via Curve or something like that.
The good thing about using somethingh liek Googel Pay and I presume Apple pay is that on your bankl statement, it just says the name of the company you have paid, just like using your debit/credit card.
Lately I have been using my chip and pin card more than my phone/watch and to be honest, i am thinking of going back to cash
Yeah IDK why Apple chose to go to the route of asking companies to integrate with Apple Pay. They could’ve launched their own payment network like Alipay and take everything and no one can complainI’m guessing once this is all set up, PayPal cards will drop support for Apple Pay. For them, it will be fine, but if Apple tried to do that, it would be “anti-competitive” and they would get sued hundreds of millions of dollars.
Perhaps the intent of the question was whether the direct transaction was facilitated, or whether you had to load money up into PayPal first.Yeah, where else would it be coming from?
Apple isn’t either.If that were true they’d be sued for excluding/restricting Siri and apple intelligence in Poland, yet here we are. Besides PayPal isn’t a monopoly.
It's odd that anyone would make a statement like that and not offer an explanation.If there is any company I trust the least right now, it would be PayPal.
The essential facilities doctrine is a major part of antitrust law. It broke up AT&T and nearly did the same to Microsoft.I don’t agree with this ‘you spend money designing and building it and make it open so every business can profit from it’ approach. Is the EU paying for the R&D, or are they stifling competition by forcing businesses to spend money to support other companies?
Pretty stupid. PayPal owns Venmo, and my Venmo card is already in Apple Wallet, so it can work with ApplePay already. I'm sure if I had a PayPal card, it would work in ApplePay as well.
PayPal today announced that it is planning to debut contactless payments in Germany, allowing German iPhone users to make tap-to-pay purchases in stores using their PayPal accounts.

PayPal already works inside the Apple Wallet app, as does PayPal subsidiary Venmo, (and CapitalOne and TDBank and American Express) so no one is "forced to only be able to use Apple." PayPal had to create Venmo because no one for the past 10 years has used PayPal except when forced to by a particular online merchant.Great. Don’t use their services [PayPal] then. Stick with Apple, or wait for a better option for you. Nothing's changed except now there exists a choice. The fact you can now do this is much more the point, rather than be forced to only be able to use Apple.
Precisely. I've had an iPhone since 2009 and don't recall being able to pay with NFC until Apple Pay came out. If PayPal wants to claim prior art, they need to re-examine their history.Paypal was founded in 1998. Apple Pay didn’t come along until 2014. What did PayPal do with such a HUGE lead to where they’re only ALMOST ans big as Apple? Even the PayPal Secure card came out in 2007! It’s not that Apple doesn’t like competing it’s that apparently no one else knows how to compete LOL
Haha, as we're discussing PayPal you raise a very good point. PayPal's Venmo won't allow you to put money INTO your Venmo account from a bank account unless you get a Venmo debit card. (They don't want your money sitting around earning THEM interest.) But where does the Venmo debit card get its funds? From the Venmo account, of course; where else could it come from? So, why would you need a Venmo debit card in order to put money INTO your Venmo account? PayPal/Venmo folks are not the brightest bulbs in the financial world; their own support department is unable to explain this bizarre requirement.Yeah, where else would it be coming from?
