Payment giants PayPal and Visa have expanded their Instant Transfer service to speed up the process needed for businesses and people to access transferred funds.
The service is expanding both in the US and across the world, according to TechCrunch.
People who use PayPal, Venmo, Xoom, Braintree, Hyperwallet or iZettle to receive or send money will be able to opt in for the Transfer option.
In other words, customers and businesses will be able to access their money in real time.
The programmes will be rolled out around the globe in the coming months.
The need for this service has proven especially critical in the days of Covid-19.
“Sending money to loved ones or giving small businesses real-time access to earnings is critical during these challenging times,” said Jack Forestell, CPO at Visa, in a statement seen by TechCrunch.
“By partnering with PayPal on a global scale, we are bringing together two trusted brands to provide hundreds of millions of consumers and small businesses globally with quick and secure payment options that can help them maintain financial stability.”
