Stripe and Advent have made a joint offer to acquire PayPal – sources
- digitaltrees 4mo agoTrying to create a monopoly before the lack of antitrust enforcement window closes.
- toomuchtodo 4mo agoNo reason it can’t be broken apart in the future. States will likely file suit, as twelve already have regarding the Paramount Warner deal.
- pessimizer 4mo agoYou mean that Paramount-Warner deal that people waited and let happen so they could break it up in the future?
- toomuchtodo 4mo agoThe deal that a low regulatory executive administration is supporting, while states attempt to prevent it (acting in place of what one would expect from an appropriately functioning Dept of Justice and FTC) until regime change. Midterms are approaching, and this admin has a bit more than two years left. Some folks involved are either at, or beyond, human life expectancy as well. Sort of but not quite similar to Brexit, which barely eeked by, and now all of the old pensioners who supported it are dead after a decade and the country is ready to consider getting back into the EU. TLDR This low regulatory period of the US political timeline will eventually end, and there will be a lookback/clawback period. Nothing is permanent. Rules can be changed at any time.
- digitaltrees 4mo agoExcept the general trend has not been equal degrees of snap back but rather a general trend towards market consolidation, deregulation, lowering taxes and eliminating anti trust enforcement. If we went back to the regulation immediately post world War this country would feel profoundly different.

- ergocoder 4mo agoI doubt Stripe is anywhere near the monopoly status.
- deleted 4mo ago[deleted]
- nickjj 4mo agoBack when selling online tech courses was viable (pre-AI), about 30% of transactions in the US were from folks using PayPal on the platform I used. There's a huge of people who use PayPal, it's even more outside of the US.
- ergocoder 4mo agoIt's the same argument why Google isn't never considered a monopoly to the online ads space. Because the whole ads industry is much larger. Same thing with card payments. There are online card payments and in-store card payments and other kinds of payments. Stripe + Paypal volume is considered a fraction of it.
- seanclayton 4mo agoHow else would you accept credit card payments on your website? Who are the competitors you would reach for?
- dlcarrier 4mo agoIn the US, PayPal has nowhere near the adoption of other countries, for making payments directly between accounts, and Visa and Mastercard have enough regulatory capture to ensure it stays that way. If there wasn't a regulation-ensured duopoly, everyone would be switching to RTP or FedNow which each charge 4.5¢ per transaction, without an additional commission.
- digitaltrees 4mo agoWhat is the regulatory capture? Visa and master card have contract terms that ensure retail capture. That’s a private moat not regulation.
- charlieyu1 4mo agoWhat’s stopping a new competitor to come in apart from regulations? You would expect someone already trying that given how profitable it is
- deleted 4mo ago[deleted]
- digitaltrees 4mo agoThe contracts with merchants prohibited them from accepting other forms of payment. https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-visa-monopolizing-debit-markets https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/justice-department-s...
- socalgal2 4mo agoYea, I think you have this one backward? it's lack of regulation that allows Mastercard and Visa to say "if you do try to use some other payment process you can't use us". Since MC and Visa own all of it, no business can take that hit to their customer base Some other countries don't have this issue for various reasons.

- brikym 4mo agoIf there is a cartel it's at the Visa & Mastercard layer surely.
- deleted 4mo ago[deleted]
- reddalo 4mo agoI can't wait for Europe to come up with an alternative for Visa & Mastercard. European business pay a "hidden" tax to the US on everything, in the form of Visa & Mastercard commissions.
- PaulDavisThe1st 4mo agoWhich (a) the EU can and does regulate (b) the majority of the commission goes to the issuing bank. I hate feeling as if I'm defending Visa or Mastercard, but if we're going to attack them, let's get our storytelling correct first.
- digitaltrees 4mo agoThat's fair but it does end up flowing through the US right?
- digitaltrees 4mo agoI agree with this for in-person payments. But surely stripe has a monopoly on development api payments and PayPal on e-commerce. What i would expect is that visa Master card try to buy the stripe/PayPal.
- chirau 4mo agoThat would be quite a play. Stripe, PayPal, Venmo, Braintree, Xoom all under one umbrella. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) for online card-not-present (CNP) checkout on that is going to be absurdly high and this will take a lot of convincing to beat antitrust. They will probably have to unwind Venmo and Braintree.
- pstuart 4mo agoGosh, with such efficiency of operations consumers will win because pricing of their services will be more efficient! Todays Feds will try selling that story.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 4mo agoConvince who? There is no such thing as antitrust anymore in the USA, it’s merely the size of the bribe required to let the merger go through now
- bluedevil2k 4mo agoStates have the ability to sue to block mergers as well as the federal government. See the recent 11 state lawsuit seeking to block the WarnerMount merger.
- xp84 4mo agoJust a couple of months ago, someone was still suing[1] to block Alaska Air/Hawaiian. This is a merger that already entirely went through. I would predict equal likelihood of some state lawsuit derailing a merger like this.

- goofy_lemur 4mo agoI mean less competition is probably not good for anyone.

- mertbio 4mo agoPaypal is quite popular in Germany but with Wero that popularity will decrease significantly. I expect that all around the Europe.
- solarkraft 4mo agoI have not tried Wero, but I have tried the german predecessor (paydirekt/giropay). It was ... not much less smooth than PayPal. But I’ve only ever seen a single vendor offering it. 0 for Wero so far.
- LelouBil 4mo agoI don't think vendors can offer Wero yet. I think it's part of the merger with other European companies.
- Semaphor 4mo agoThat is what keeps confusing me when people hype wero. It essentially (I think some limited trials?) doesn't exist for B2C, and sending money to friends is a very minor use case. So once it has really broad support and can be used as merchant, is when it'll maybe become interesting.
- LelouBil 4mo agoWell it's a nice thing to be able to send money across european countries only with a phone number even if it's only among consumers for now. But it's been confirmed they are merging with companies that are already B2C in their own countries to bring a european B2C system
- ahoef 4mo agoWero is essentially iDeal. iDeal is great.
- r1ch 4mo agoGreat for merchants, not so much for consumers. Once the merchant has your money it's very difficult to get it back if things go wrong.
- nikolay 4mo agoPayPal owns Venmo, though.
- kayo_20211030 4mo agoWow! TIL. Totally ignorant is I.
- kotaKat 4mo agoSo... I got banned from PayPal (with no explanation) and Stripe closed my account (with no recourse for 'crowdfunding' after linking to Ko-Fi). Cool, awesome, that's gonna be a great monopolistic picture for those that get unbanked across the entire Internet.
- 1970-01-01 4mo agoI've been thru 3 or 4 'lifetime' bans with PayPal. Just ask to be reinstated during the next big shakeup (now) and they'll let you back in. They want your money. They want your business. The exact same things you couldn't sell 25 years ago, the things that got you banned, are now listed online without care. They literally forget.
- charlieyu1 4mo agoPayPal user for 20+ years and it is time to end that dross
- nolok 4mo agoNah, I hate them with a passion as a merchant but I absolutely love them as a buyer and customer. There is a reason why after all these years and other solutions they're still everywhere, and it's not because of their great tooling, their low fees or their awesome support for merchant. It's not because of market lock in either, at least here in Europe they're merely a middle man between my credit card or sepa bank account and the merchant. It's because buyers trust it. Buyers don't trust stripe. Stripe is for the merchant.
- bastawhiz 4mo agoAs a buyer I don't trust Paypal. They use dark patterns to try to get me to sign in, then make it hard to sign out, and for whatever reason my account is wedged and even though it has the correct payment details, the payments all fail. The UI is antiquated and the embedded version that has the animated progress bar GIF is sketchy at best. The Venmo app (which Paypal owns) is jammed with crappy ads and an often-broken UI.
- dqv 4mo agoNah I thought I liked PayPal as a customer until I found out that they favor large merchants against the consumer. I had a problem with a product and the company was playing games with the warranty. I only had it for 3 months and it was already falling apart. I made a complaint with PP and it was auto denied. I will never use PP for a large purchase again.
- Fogest 4mo agoYep I had a case where I bought something online and it was not as described. The merchant didn't respond to emails, I filed the PayPal chargeback and the case was taking ages as the merchant wasn't responding. They finally responded on the last day to basically say I got my item. Despite all my evidence I provided it didn't seem to matter. So I again would have to respond and now wait for PayPal to rule. I was getting so sick of it, I just filed a chargeback with my credit card company instead and they gave me the money back right away upfront and did their own investigation after the fact and ruled in my favour. I have had PayPal work for me for refunds many years ago, but the problem is often how long the whole process takes and how long your money is held hostage. By the time you maybe get your money back, you've already had to pay off that money on your credit card (if you used credit for the PP transaction). I've found that when I do a chargeback via my credit card, they often give me the money back right away and then do an investigation. If it were to not go my way the money would get taken back. I think this feels more fair depending on the case. Some cases are pretty clear cut and there is no reason to hold your money hostage while they confirm what you said is truthful.
- ck2 4mo agoI really do not grasp business when PayPal is somehow worth over $50 Billion It doesn't have assets? It's not a bank Is it because PayPal is integrated already into so many websites? Wouldn't it take decades to make back $50 Billion in fees?
- rwaksmunski 4mo agoIt's a bank in Europe
- jc_811 4mo agoIf you look at their financials, they’re clearly making money. In 2025 they had 33B in revenue with a net income of 5.2B
- hyperbovine 4mo agoPayPal is sort of the Facebook of digital payments: they stopped being directly relevant years ago, but own many of the things that you or someone you know continue to use. Venmo being the obvious one, but also Braintree, Xoom, Honey, Bill Me Later, etc.
- wyre 4mo agoAccording to Wikipedia they hold $80 billion in assets. They also hold a lot of financial data of its users, which is certainly worth more than anything that could ever make sense to my pleb brain.
- tmtvl 4mo agoDoesn't PayPal confiscate your money if you forget to withdraw it in time?
- coredev_ 4mo agoWhy, what is the play here? I know PayPal is used extensively in some countries (like Brazil?) but in most countries there are other/local services that have substantial market share and I do not think that PayPal can compete.
- rglover 4mo agoConsolidation (move toward making Stripe the only game in town).
- coredev_ 4mo agoPayPal seems to me like something from the past that no one uses. But sure, they have a market and a profit, but a future? Will Stripe move customers from PayPal to Stripe or will they fix PayPal?
- nozzlegear 4mo agoIf I'm buying something from a website and they don't offer Apple Pay, I'll opt for PayPal instead since I already have my credit/debit cards saved there and don't want to hand over numbers to a random website. Also, when I used to do more freelancing, all of my clients preferred to be invoiced and pay through PayPal (who skimmed a decent chunk of change off the top). Not sure if either of those reasons would be what Stripe wants here, but just my two cents. I'm American fwiw.
- xp84 4mo agoDon't forget Venmo - PayPal smartly gobbled that up many, many years ago, and it has a great amount of mindshare (though I don't know how profitable it is). Zelle popped up later and somehow has plenty of users, but unlike Venmo, Zelle is a steaming pile of sh*t of user experience, due to it being a consortium of all the famously-tech-backwards big banks, which stood it up out of fear and jealousy that those "Internet" guys might find a way to disintermediate them somehow.
- onlypassingthru 4mo agoZelle was built to preempt FedNow. The banks saw what was coming and wanted to own instant payments. https://www.frbservices.org/financial-services/fednow/about.html https://www.frbservices.org/financial-services/fednow/about....
- zuzululu 4mo agothrilled that stripe is buying paypal
- thunderfork 4mo agoEveryone rushing to get these consolidations done before America starts having anti-trust law again, huh?
- Topology1 4mo agoDo the processing fees really add up? Can't fathom that Stripe is big enough to buy PayPal, but maybe I'm just 10 years behind on this industry.
- deleted 4mo ago[deleted]
- nailer 4mo agoYes. People are prepared to pay Stripe 1% of all their revenue, same way they're prepared to pay card companies 2%.
- khurs 4mo ago1.5% - 3.25% + 20p https://stripe.com/gb/pricing https://stripe.com/gb/pricing
- e28eta 3mo ago"1% to Stripe and 2% to card companies" is the grandparent estimating how the Stripe fees that you're quoting are divided up. Stripe isn't keeping all of that "1.5% - 3.25% + 20p", they're paying the network some portion. Additionally, instead of using the blended pricing model you quote, they do offer IC+ pricing to (at least some) businesses. I don't know the criteria. On IC+, you're explicitly paying "whatever the network costs" + "fixed Stripe fees" https://stripe.com/resources/more/interchange-plus-pricing-explained https://stripe.com/resources/more/interchange-plus-pricing-e... > Larger and fast-growing businesses often choose interchange plus pricing because it passes through the true cost of each transaction. At high volumes, its net cost is often lower than that of blended pricing. It also gives finance teams true oversight because it shows where all the money goes. That makes it easier to forecast costs, spot inefficiencies, and negotiate or shop around for the processor markup.
- khurs 3mo agoThanks, wasn't aware of IC+.What kind of volume is needed to be eligible do you know?
- erelong 4mo ago[flagged]
- nickjj 4mo agoI'm not sure I like this idea. Braintree is a legit competitor to Stripe. I'm guessing they have some informal agreement to keep transaction fees about the same but if they become 1 company, what's to stop Stripe from raising fees even more? I'm not a fan of either to be honest, PayPal once told me I was wrong with something related to taxes and a bunch of different reps told me what I was saying and reported was impossible. Their tax division specialists also replied by email with big bold red letters outlining how it's not possible and that I'm wrong multiple times. They were contacted through support cases I opened with other reps on the phone since they aren't directly accessible on phone. Then I said I was canceling my account with them if this wasn't resolved since it would have resulted in me needing to pay $400 to have my taxes amended. Long story short, after being ghosted for 3 months they replied to me saying I was right and they indeed had the impossible problem, then fixed their tax forms a week before taxes were due. It's really bad that a random person on the internet discovered a huge issue with one of their partners and their instinct was to require ~10 hours of back and forth phone calls, multiple emails, me giving them the likely problem and solution on day 1 only to be lead on and ignored for months until the very last second.
- dfunckt 4mo agoThe dystopia that PayPal is we’re cheering and paying trillionaires to bring forward faster. Can’t wait.
- novia 4mo agoPaypal offshored all of their support staff.
- geden 4mo agoThey've been abysmal and borderline criminal since the start. They randomly withheld £20k from a business I was involved with for no stated reason and no direct means to talk to a human about it. It took months to resolve. And as for their actual website...
- peterspath 4mo ago
- elevation 4mo agoI typically use paypal for paying contractors, but try to "load balance" across a couple competitors because you never know when one of them will flag your account, nor for how long it will be flagged. Consolidation in this industry puts my ability to transmit money at greater risk.
- motoxpro 4mo agoThis would be amazing! Its such a pain having to set up two payment solutions as a merchant and as a buyer it would be great if I could use my paypal credit on whatever purchase I want. Consumers want paypal and merchant want stripe. I really want this to happen.
- carlosjobim 4mo agoPayPal has been a payment option offered by Stripe for merchants for a while now. I don't know if there's more setting up than clicking the activation button.
- taylorbuley 4mo agoMy worry is that fees might go through the roof without any other options
- pembrook 4mo agoNot great tbh. The more time goes on, I'm starting to come around to paypal's original vision of decentralized internet-native money as being the future. The more the international system breaks down and countries abuse their power via the banking system (especially the US, and from both parties), my opinion of cryptocurrencies transitions from "annoying scam infrastructure for hucksters" to "actually...you might have a point." Still a ton of growing up that needs to be done by the industry. But no company or country should be able to tax the global economy via payments monopoly and you should not be able to be arbitrarily banned from the economy by these global supra-national intermediaries that have no court system and no democratic levers to pull to reign in their overreach in your country outside of desperate social media posts. Stripe brags incessantly about how much of global GDP they facilitate...which, cool. I don't doubt there's an insane amount of work required to herd all those global cats and make payments just work. But, they're literally taxing the entire world as a % of GDP due to this dystopian legacy system? Is that the best outcome for humanity?
- baranul 3mo agoThe point about crypto is worth exploring. Many would prefer to cut the middleman out and crypto can be a way to do that.
- pbiggar 4mo ago[flagged]
- benmorris 4mo agoI'm not sure how this is a good thing. There are already very limited options to accept payments online, consolidating two of the major ones is not a great thing.
- carlosjobim 4mo agoThere are many options. If you make a lot of online payments, you'll see myriad payment processors.
- edoceo 4mo agoNot good. Stripe makes restrictions that PayPal allows (cannabis adjacent, adult adjacent) that Stripe blocks. Many vendors will be negatively impacted by Stripes morality police and selective application of their policies.
- 3uler 4mo agoIn my experience, having worked at several large PSPs, it is Mastercard and Visa who are the morality police. Stripe are just enforcing the rules insisted on by them, and PayPal forgot about them 3 layoffs ago.
- edoceo 4mo agoThen how do other processors go over the Visa and MC rails for these transaction types? How does Stripe allow some and then block others?
- reddalo 4mo agoSimply put, Stripe doesn't want to deal with the risk associated with those transaction types.
- edoceo 4mo agoI know it's about risk. Perhaps my point was not clear? Simply put: Stripe selectively applies their own policy about "restricted" transaction types.
- olalonde 4mo agoYou said it was about morality, so it was not clear you knew it was actually about risk. Each payment company has to set their own policies because regulations tend to be (intentionally) vague and not all companies have the same risk tolerance. If the legal risks weren't there, Stripe would absolutely accept these categories. You should really complain about the dumb AML regulations instead.
- AlanAzarkin 4mo agoReading about Stripe’s stablecoin ambitions is funny. X uses Stripe, but Stripe on X doesn't accept my Bybit stablecoin cryptocard for a Pro subscription, ads, or boost purchases.
- whimsicalism 4mo agoIn some ways, I would rather Stripe have the market power here to negotiate against Visa & Mastercard than Visa/Mastercard holding the reigns over a fragmented digital ecosystem.
- xiaodai 4mo agohow things have changed! the grand daddy is being acquired!

- kypro 4mo agoExtremely weak bid, no? PayPal was worth 5x this a few years ago... Even pre-pandemic it was worth far more. Hell, just a year ago it was valued at ~$80 share. $60.50 per share would value them at just 11x their current earnings. I get PayPal isn't exactly a growth company anymore, but I'm not sure I understand why shareholders would agree to this offer?

- gonesilent 4mo agoHoney lawsuits still might be a feared liability?
- ksec 4mo agoPaypal was worth near $50 when it IPO again in 2015, and it is still worth $50B today? And this isn't some inflated market cap either, apart from 2021 and 2022 they have been making $5B+ Net income in the past 6 years. I would love to dive into how Paypal makes money because that is an order of magnitude bigger than I thought. There must be some market in which Paypal is popular and culturally accepted as by default payment. Which also makes me want to rethink how much Apple Pay is worth if it was a separate business.
- selfmodruntime 4mo agoCompetition is fierce and there's only so much innovation you can do as a payment service provider
- edelbitter 4mo agoFor starters, they could have made at least every website related to customer-facing payment flow as fast as stripe managed to deliver pretty much right from the start.
- hibikir 4mo agoWhat I find weird about this is that JohnC has been saying for decades that large mergers are pretty bad for both companies. You spend 2,3 years in limbo, figuring out what in the world to do with the other large organization. When Stripe makes acquisitions it's historically been small companies, doing things Stripe isn't doing. It's the kind of situation where pc is unlikely to speak publicly here, but I sure would love to understand what the plan is, if just as a shareholder.
- LeifCarrotson 4mo agoOn the other hand, reducing competition and consolidating the market within the combined organization is good for the misshapen franken-org that comes out at the end... The question is whether or not they can weaponize the regulatory system to prevent smaller competitors from taking advantage of their confusion.
- deleted 4mo ago[deleted]
- fnordpiglet 4mo agoWhat I find interesting about this isn’t acquiring the flow from PayPal but the fact that PayPal has a bank charter and stripe doesn’t (not a real one, all that Georgia bank stuff is shenanigans). Properly structured this gives stripe a lot of interesting opportunities that they’ve had to delegate to partners and that dilutes not just their margins in the fee stack but restricts the types of transactions and merchants they can host, beyond the minimal regulatory constraint. The next move would be to offer a stripe managed card network that captures the full MDR interchange fee stack, from issuance to processing to network to bank. They could offer deep discounts to merchants hosting their accounts on their bank issuing cards through them and processing through them by cutting out every middle man. It would instantly become the third largest network in terms of points of sale behind visa and Mastercard. They could further carve out heavy rewards for customers through direct relationships with airlines, hotels, and merchants through their existing issuer services. They would become the first fully integrated vertical in payments, and the efficiency that would give them in fees would allow them to crush the hodge podge payment stacks out there that exist. I’d wager in five years they would dominate the market.

- ravenstine 4mo agoI will support this idea if they allow changing your PayPal handle! When they first introduced that feature, PayPal made it seem more frivolous than a username. In fact I don't even think they called it a username at the time. I decided to use it for a side project that didn't work out, then came to discover that the handle had become my permanent username for my personal account with no way to change it whatsoever. If you call your small ballpoint pen business @penisland but realize the lack of wisdom behind that handle, you're stuck with it for life. Paypal does not care and will not provide you with support. I'm no longer a fan of Stripe, but if they fix that one issue I will happily use PayPal again.
- jervant 4mo agoWhat's so important about retaining your existing account? Remove payment methods, change the account email address, then close the account and open a new one.

- khurs 4mo agoThe future is direct payments without middlemen.
