Visa and PayPal extend partnership to accelerate adoption of digital and mobile payments in Canada
Digital partnership will enhance the payment experience online, in-app and in store for consumers in Canada.
TORONTO, May 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ – Visa (NYSE: V) and PayPal (Nasdaq: PYPL) today announced an extension of their strategic partnership to Canada that will see them work collaboratively to accelerate the adoption of secure, reliable and convenient digital and mobile payments for consumers and merchants in Canada. The two companies are already collaborating in the U.S., Asia Pacific and Europe. This latest step brings the benefits of the partnership to Canadian consumers and businesses.
The partnership creates a seamless experience for consumers who choose to pay with their Visa card at places that accept PayPal. Through collaboration between bank partners and PayPal, consumers will be able to add Visa cards into the PayPal digital wallet easily from other banking apps.
It also enables PayPal to leverage Visa Direct (Visa’s real-time payments solution), which allows Visa cardholders to more easily move funds from their PayPal account to an eligible Visa debit card in real-time.
In addition, Visa and PayPal have agreed to extend participation in the Visa Digital Enablement Program (VDEP). VDEP provides Visa’s partners with access to tokenisation technology, which enables simple and secure payment on mobile phones or any connected device. This will help expand the use of PayPal to businesses that accept Visa in physical locations.
“This partnership will open new avenues for Visa and PayPal to collaborate to honour consumer choice and provide greater benefits to merchants and issuers,” said Stacey Madge, Country Manager and President, Visa Canada. “By working together, we will be able to bring more innovative products and enhance payment experiences online, in-app and in store for our joint customers.”
