  AFRICA IS HOME GLOBAL (@AfricaisHOME2) reported 2 minutes ago

  PayPal is pushing a turnaround plan, but its latest earnings beat didn’t win over investors. Revenue rose 4% to $8.7 billion in Q4 2025, slightly below forecasts, and branded checkout growth slowed to 1%. The miss sent shares down over 20%, and CEO Alex Chriss stepped down effective March 1, with HP’s Enrique Lopez taking over. Management also cut its full-year outlook to flat or low single-digit growth, citing weak demand in travel, crypto, and gaming. - World Business News.

  PayPal (PYPL) down 20%+ YTD as 3 headwinds mount: slowing revenue growth, fierce competition from Apple Pay & Google Pay, and shrinking margins. Can PayPal turn around amid rising competitive pressure? YES or NO? #PayPal #PYPL #Fintech

  My PayPal account got permanently deactivated after I submitted my remaining documents to claim some funds that just came in? Is there any way to fix this?

  $PYPL is cutting 4,500 jobs. 20% of the entire company. Phased over 2-3 years. They're splitting into three divisions. Checkout and PayPal. Consumer and Venmo. And a dedicated crypto unit running PYUSD. Stock is down 45% this year. Revenue beat estimates last quarter. They're firing people anyway. The new CEO calls it "becoming a technology company again." They're going cloud-native, rebuilding the tech platform, and replacing workflows with AI. ✅ Checkout Solutions . PayPal core ✅ Consumer Financial Services . Venmo ✅ Payment Services . Crypto and PYUSD 1.5 billion in cost savings. 4,500 people paying for it. The largest fintech workforce cut of 2026. Bigger than SQ Block's 4,000 in February. Bigger than COIN's 700 this week.

  @phantom your support site is down. I sent usdc to my PayPal wallet and I need a ticket opened. Message me or the next person will be the investigator to figure out why your only support option is offline.

  @PVINTERACTIVE @isek554 @NewsWireLK I don't want to waste time with fools. But let me finish with last 3 remarks. 1. Paypal is objectively horrible and their service sucks. 2. Places like Wyoming, USA is far more easier to work with than broken systems like Sri Lanka. 3. It's your choice, so good luck!

  @PayPal, I am extremely dissatisfied with your service. I have forgotten my password, and the response I received is unacceptable. Your support is not available late, nor do you provide a chat assistant for account-related issues. 🙄 Now, I have to wait until tomorrow to complete a transfer. This is absurd.

  @Mr_Derivatives SOFI's product and non-existent customer service is terrible. It makes me wonder how long they can sustain any growth with such a terrible product. I know Paypal manages it, but the provide a fairly unique service, where as SOFI has less services than a regular bank. There can only be so many new suckers.

  @AskPayPal Why are there so many problems trying to access my PayPal cash back Mastercard? I spent 20 minutes on the phone with a representative filing a dispute today and yet I haven't received an email about it and can't find any information documenting that I filed this dispute! This has become a horrible, horrible experience!

  @KWinfosecMafia Pros: Bypasses your bank issues completely—spends directly from PayPal balance. Free to get, acts like any debit card on Amazon, quick virtual option available. Cons: No credit float (debit only), must fund PayPal first if balance is low, daily spending limits apply, and it won't fix Amazon's retry loop on the original card. Still hit Amazon chat to kill the emails at the source.

  PayPal has lost its mojo—and the numbers don’t lie. PayPal is losing the world it helped create. Once the undisputed king of online checkout, PayPal is now fighting for relevance in a world it helped create. Its branded checkout growth cratered to just 1% in Q4 2025, a sharp plunge from prior rates around 6% in earlier periods. Overall revenue grew modestly (~4%), but missed estimates, contributing to a brutal stock reaction and ongoing pressure. The Competitive Squeeze: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay are eating PayPal’s lunch, especially with younger, mobile-first users. Seamless, wallet-native experiences on phones are winning over the old “Pay with PayPal” button. Apple Pay is closing the gap fast on U.S. users, and the habit shift is real: fewer shoppers are defaulting to PayPal at checkout. This isn’t just cyclical. PayPal’s active user growth has slowed dramatically (low single digits annually), transaction take rates have declined over the years, and competitors like Stripe are outpacing it in key areas. The digital payments moat PayPal once enjoyed has been commoditized by Big Tech integration and smoother alternatives. Historical Echoes Analysts and longtime observers point to 2002 as a symbolic turning point: 👉the eBay acquisition closed, 👉Peter Thiel exited the same day. What started as a scrappy, innovative disruptor became tied to an auction platform before eventually spinning out. The brand still carries legacy strength, but it lacks the cultural spark and developer momentum of its early days. The AI Pivot: Too Little, Too Late? PayPal is now on a reorganization push under new CEO Enrique Lores, talking up AI, automation, cost savings (~$1.5B targeted), and becoming a “technology company again.” It’s streamlining into three business units and investing in ads, crypto, and Venmo. The big question:👇 Is it enough? Guidance for 2026 has been cautious amid macro headwinds and competition, with shares reacting negatively at times. Execution will be tough against entrenched Big Tech players who control the devices and platforms where payments happen. PayPal still has scale, a strong brand, Venmo, and a massive user base. But “mojo” was about being the default, the innovator, the future. Right now, it feels like a mature company defending turf rather than conquering new ground. The market is watching whether this AI/tech reset can restore growth or if PayPal becomes another fintech cautionary tale—profitable but permanently de-risked and de-rated. What do you think—turnaround story or slow decline? #PayPal #Fintech #Payments
