The social payments platform processed USD 12 billion of the company's total payment volume in Q1, representing growth of 80% over the year-ago period.
The payments company has introduced more payment functions with Venmo, starting with the ability to pay select businesses with Venmo through the Braintree platform. PayPal then gave Venmo users the ability to use their app balance or linked cards and bank accounts anywhere PayPal is accepted in the US via the mobile web.
The Venmo-branded debit card is part of PayPal strategy to expand Venmo's monetisation potential in 2018.
