• Mobile wallets are growing rapidly as we become more technologically advanced.

Berg Insight’s CEO Johan Fagerber on where the global mobile wallet payments market is heading, 7/5/13

We interviewed Johan Fagerberg, CEO of wireless analyst firm Berg Insight, to get his views of the ever-evolving mobile wallet payments arena and give us a few basic facts on a sector that is likely to experience triple-digit growth rates over the next few years.In a nutshell, what is a mobile wallet?A mobile wallet is an application that enables in-store payments to be authorized with a mobile phone. Furthermore, a mobile wallet facilitates the delivery of value-added services such as offers, coupons and receipts. Eventually, mobile wallet services will make it possible for consumers to leave their leather wallets at home, as all shopping can be done using a mobile phone. In addition to in-store payments, mobile wallets can typically be used for other purposes such as conducting person-to-person money transfers or online purchases. There is a range of technologies that can be used for completing a purchase with a mobile phone. NFC is often considered to be the obvious future technology, but there are also several alternative technologies such as 2D barcodes, RFID tags, encrypted sound and Bluetooth. Why do mobile wallet services matter and what is the status of the market today?Mobile wallet services will change both offline and online commerce by enabling new shopping experiences for consumers and by creating an unprecedented opportunity for retailers and brands to interact with their customers while purchase decisions are being made. However, the mobile wallet market is still in its infancy. Relatively few companies have launched mobile wallet services that are commercially available to consumers, and mobile wallets are still accepted at very few stores. The market is nevertheless now moving rapidly and commercial rollouts of numerous NFC and non-NFC wallet services are underway.The required infrastructure for mobile wallet services is being rolled out and key partnerships are being formed between mobile network operators, financial institutions, retailers and other companies. This will result in a proliferation of mobile wallet services during the next few years, which will be a very important time during which wallet operators have an opportunity to learn and improve their services. Before mobile wallets can attract the mass market, a broad range of services beyond payments need to be made available to consumers. People do not have a problem with cash or payment cards today. Value-added services that enable new shopping experiences before, during and after payments will be what truly distinguish mobile wallets from the traditional payment instruments.

Berg Insight’s CEO Johan Fagerberg on where the global mobile wallet payments market is heading

How is the European market for mobile wallet services developing?The European market for mobile wallet services is developing quickly, with substantial momentum behind NFC wallet services and many launches of non-NFC wallet services are also in progress. Commercial mobile wallet services will have been launched by companies such as Telefónica, Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone, ING Bank, BNP Paribas, Barclaycard, Swedbank, mBank, PKO Bank Polski, Seamless, Auchan and PayPal by the end of 2013. As a result, there will be mobile wallet services live in nearly half of the EU27+2 countries at the end of the year. Berg Insight expects that 2016–2017 will be the first years in which mobile wallets approach mass market penetration and more than ten million new wallet users will then be added on an annual basis. The number of active mobile wallet users is projected to increase from 500,000 in 2012 to 42 million in 2017, whereas the in-store payments volume will grow from well below €0.1 billion in 2012 to €45 billion in 2017.How is the North American market for mobile wallet services developing?There were approximately 7.5 million mobile wallet users in North America at the end of 2012, which completed in-store payments for a total of $0.5 billion (€0.4 billion) during the year. However, this relatively high number of users and transactions was almost exclusively due to the phenomenal success of Starbucks’ application for mobile payments that had around 7 million users at the end of 2012. Mobile wallets that can be used at multiple merchants only had a few hundred thousand users in the region at the end of 2012. However, many promising initiatives are underway in both the US and Canada. Companies and consortiums such as Google, Isis, MCX, PayPal, CIBC, LevelUp and Square are competing to become the consumer’s wallet of choice, each with a unique approach to the market. Berg Insight expects that several of these initiatives will have a significant impact on the market already in 2014. The number of active mobile wallet users will increase to 29 million in 2017, whereas the in-store payments volume will grow to $44 billion (€33 billion) in the same year.How large is the mobile wallet opportunity?The emergence of mobile wallet services is the most significant development in the payments industry during the foreseeable future, as mobile wallets will eventually replace cash, credit cards, debit cards and checks to become the most common payment method for both in-store and remote purchases. Currently, payments with credit cards and debit cards worldwide amount to approximately €10 trillion on an annual basis, which correspons to roughly 20 per cent of the world’s GDP or 1/3 of global household consumption expenditures. Cash and checks are used to pay for another €15 trillion in purchases worldwide.

Industry Trends: The Mobile Payment Revolution – Merchant Warehouse – 4/18/13

Many companies, unsure of which direction the market is headed, are participating in more than one wallet. For example, Starbucks has its own successful app, but it has also partnered with Square and integrated to Apple’s Passbook. We predict that eventually the smartphone will become the mobile wallet and consumers will have a variety of payment and loyalty apps to choose from, depending on which places they visit most and which have the most compelling offers at the time. We don’t believe any one single system will rule them all.

While NFC and QR are the predominant technologies driving mobile wallets, we should note that there are a few players taking advantage of “empty hands” technology, like PayPal, that enables account holders to pay at the point of sale by entering a phone number and a PIN, as well as contactless check-in/check-out technology, like that from Paydiant, that leverages a “checkout” token to associate an end user and their payment accounts with a transaction.

PayPal has chosen to distinguish itself from the mobile wallet market, calling its offering an ‘empty hands’ digital wallet. The wallet works by allowing users to link their PayPal accounts and pay for purchases by entering their phone number and PIN code into the retailer’s existing point-of-sale terminal; no smartphone required. The service also offers price comparison and shopping list tools and support for coupons and offers from retailer partners. One interesting feature is that the PayPal wallet allows customers to change their method of payment after they make a purchase. For example, a user could pay for an item using a MasterCard, take it home, and then later log in to his or her PayPal account to switch the payment method to Visa instead without any additional fee.

Industry Surveys: Computers: Consumer Services & The Internet – 4/13BUSINESS-TO-CONSUMER E-COMMERCE GROWS

In 2002, eBay purchased PayPal for $1.5 billion in stock. We think this deal was one of the smartest in the history of the Internet segment. PayPal made it easier for buyers and sellers to transact business on eBay, because it was secure and easy to use. While PayPal was largely seen at that time as a way to enhance the Marketplaces operations, it has become a very strong business on its own, due to its successful merchant unit that processes purchases for a wide variety of enterprises: everything from Apple and Dell Inc., to major airlines, to the NBA. In 2008, eBay acquired Bill Me Later for $820 million, to expand its payments market opportunity with credit-oriented purchases. In July 2011, eBay went further to strengthen PayPal in mobile payments and acquired Zong, a leading provider of payments through mobile carrier billing, for $240 million. Zong had connections with more than 250 mobile networks and operates in 21 languages across 45 countries. We see the Payments unit as the crown jewel of eBay, ironically, because of its substantial potential apart from the company’s Marketplace businesses. Specifically, we see international and mobile as two significant growth drivers. Since the beginning of 2011, eBay has acquired or invested in around 30 companies, many of which we think were small targets identified as owning key ancillary technologies and which had attracted and cultivated key talent that could add value to eBay’s plans for areas such as payments and mobile. In February 2012, the company announced plans for people to pay with PayPal at The Home Depot Inc.’s roughly 2,000 domestic stores. In March 2012, PayPal announced PayPal Here, which allows merchants and others to accept credit-card payments at physical locations, competing with companies like Intuit Inc. and Square Inc. The new service was launched primarily to help small businesses accept payments from their customers through mobile devices such as iPhones or other smartphone devices. In May 2012, PayPal announced that 15 additional national retailers, ranging from Abercrombie & Fitch and Advance Auto Parts to Tiger Direct and Toys “R” Us, would enable in-store PayPal payments. As of the end of 2012, 23 national vendors had signed up to work with PayPal, covering 18,000 locations across the US. In August 2012, PayPal announced an important agreement with Discover Financial Services, best known for its credit cards and credit card network. It would enable PayPal users to make payments at the over 7 million retail locations across the US using Discover’s network, and we anticipate a domestic launch in mid- 2013. The companies plan to evaluate and extend the initiative to international locations in the future. In January 2013, PayPal signed a deal for its mobile services to be integrated into NCR point-of-sale hardware and devices, allowing for further expansion of its footprint, especially in restaurants, gas stations, and convenience stores.

Industry Surveys: Financial Services: Diversified – 6/13

PayPal has a considerable account base and early- mover competitive advantage. PayPal has a mobile application for consumers and, in March 2012, it introduced one for business called PayPal Here. The PayPal Here app can accept card payments through the phone’s camera as well as through a mobile card reader similar to Square; merchants pay a similar 2.7% transaction fee for debit and credit cards (there are no fees for check acceptance). In August 2012, PayPal announced an agreement with Discover Financial Services to bring PayPal to more than seven million merchant locations across the US that already have an existing relationship with Discover, starting in spring 2013 (as discussed in more detail in the “Current Environment” section of this Survey.)

MOBILE PAYMENTSOver the past year, we have seen a number of companies entering agreements in the area of mobile payments. As we see it, although some players are primarily focused on increasing their fee revenues, all of the players are interested in accessing the rich data that is captured by payments systems. Below we discuss several major transactions.

DISCOVER/PAYPALIn August 2012, PayPal (owned by eBay) announced an agreement with Discover to bring PayPal to more than 7 million merchant locations across the US that already have an existing relationship with Discover, starting in spring 2013. We estimate that Discover/PayPal’s combined approximate annual spend will be around $200 billion. That said, we think American Express has a head start, as its total spending in 2011 was $822 billion (and $888 billion in 2012). Further, the $130 billion online spend in 2011 for American Express compared favorably to PayPal’s net total payment volume of $119 billion. In our view, the high penetration of offline merchant relationships favors the more established networks, such as American Express, Visa, and MasterCard. However, we also think that the Discover/PayPal combination has strong growth potential and that it will be a formidable player in the mobile payments game. We also believe that the PayPal relationship adds value for Discover, particularly on the international side.

Industry Surveys: Telecommunications: Wireless – 6/13

NFC-ENABLED SMARTPHONES: A TECHNOLOGY YET TO TAKE OFF

Major financial institutions and wireless carriers have formed partnerships to position themselves ahead of widespread consumer adoption. AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile have formed a joint venture, Isis, to create a mobile payments application and enable an ecosystem based on NFC technology. Isis supports credit cards such as Amex, Capital One, Chase, and Barclaycard. In October 2012, Isis launched its service in Salt Lake City (Utah) and Austin (Texas) in a limited test run restricted to a few hundred retailers. In those cities, certain locations such as McDonalds, Rite Aid, 7-Eleven, and Petco will support Isis mobile payments, as well as up to 7,500 NFC-enabled vending machines. As of May 2013, Isis was still only available in those cities. Isis-ready smartphones include the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE, the Droid Razr HD, and the Droid Razr Maxx HD.

Euromonitor International: 10 Global Macro Trends for the Next Five Years – 10/12

9. A More Connected World The growing internet base has led to a boom in e-commerce. Online marketplaces, such as Amazon, eBay and Taobao, combined with the development of more secure payment methods, like PayPal, enable people to buy and sell high volumes of goods all over the world. GLOBAL SHOPPINGE-commerce is an area that has benefited enormously from the rapid rise in internet usage and has helped made the world smaller. In China, for example, internet retailing rocketed by 1,681% in real terms between 2006 and 2011, to RMB160 billion (US$22.9 billion).

Online marketplaces, such as Amazon, eBay and the Chinese rival Taobao, combined with the development of more secure payment methods, such as PayPal, enable people to buy and sell high volumes of goods all over the world. High street and shopping mall retailers have already suffered declining sales as a result of the move towards on-line shopping, and this is likely to intensify further in the future.

Nevertheless, on-line shopping has yet to penetrate the daily, or even weekly, life of most consumers. Euromonitor International‟s annual survey of on-line consumers showed that while almost three quarters of respondents had purchased a physical item on-line (excluding groceries) at least once before, only one quarter do so on a monthly basis and a mere 10% do so weekly.

Introduction to PayPal• PayPal a simpler way to pay.• Credit cards, debit cards, bank accounts. With so many payment methods, it can be a challenge to keep

• Similar to an escrow service, PayPal acts as the middleman holder of money. Through its policies, practices, and business integrity, PayPal has earned the trust of both parties. With multiple guarantees in place, buyers and sellers entrust PayPal with their credit card and bank information. PayPal keeps that private customer information secret. Then, while "blinded" from the other party's confidential information, strangers safely send money to each other through PayPal and email.

• You need no special technology nor a business license to send/receive money through Paypal. The only requirements are:– a valid email address– a valid credit card or bank account (if you have a U.S. PayPal account, then without a bank you will

only be able to obtain your money via a check mailed to you)

PayPal is teaming up with Outside Lands this year to provide festival goers with new and awesome ways to experience all the action and fun in Golden Gate Park. Think an Instagram-powered photo booth, periscopes for concertgoers to see their favorite musical acts through, and new ways to pay for the festival's delicious food and drinks using PayPal. Talk about convenient!

But one of the PayPal-powered events we're most excited for is their Outside Lands Night Show featuring psych-pop banshees Yeasayer. This special show goes down at the Independent on Saturday, August 10. Only Outside Lands attendees can purchase these tickets, but PayPal and 7x7 want to spread the wealth with everyone (whether you're going to OSL or not). Winners can come claim their tickets at the PayPal tent on the afternoon of Friday, August 9 or just head start to The Independent at the 10th and their name will be on the guest list.

In the News: Tuner Post 7/27/13PayPal in Bangladesh will be launched in July 2013Finally the wait is over for Bangladeshi tigers and soon they will check the taste of PayPal a premium online e-currency payment solution of the world. Bangladesh was among one of the unfortunate countries in the world like Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan etc where getting verified PayPal account is not available due to some banking issues but now after some delegations from Bangladesh visited PayPal officials in USA previous month which includes the CEO of BDJOBS.com Mr. Fahim Mashroor and Senior Vice President at BASIS (Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services). The tour was a success in which they had a meeting with senior executives of PayPal at PayPal head office in San Jose, California USA.

PayPal is no doubt the dream for every professional who works online in order to make money because its the only way to reach customers all around the world and send/receive payments from them. With PayPal unavailable in your country you are limited to very few online earning opportunities and hence more frustration for you in this era of economic recession.

Bringing PayPal in Bangladesh is the result of chain of events held in Bangladesh in last few years including eAsia Conference 2011, a top ICT event held in Dhaka last year. Later, after a moth of eAsia Conference 2011 officials from BASIS(Bangladesh association of software and information services) gave an announcement that PayPal has decided to start their operation in Bangladesh from July 2013.

CloudBeat 2013: PayPal embraces open cloud most aggressivelyI’m delighted to announce the first three speakers at our CloudBeat 2013 event in San Francisco on Sept 9-10.This is our third annual CloudBeat, an event set on debating the trends in the cloud economy over the next twelve months.The most disruptive trend is what we’re calling the move to an “open cloud.”Until this year, everything in the enterprise has remained surprisingly siloed. Even cloud application leader Salesforce.com has pushed a proprietary database. But now there’s an increasing movement toward open APIs, driven by companies that need cloud applications to talk with each other, and on-premise apps to talk with cloud apps. Closed, proprietary businesses that don’t allow easy integration may still garner most of the revenue. But like the sleeping frog in the frying pan, their time may be running out.That’s why we’re excited to announce that PayPal Senior Director of Platform Engineering Saran Mandair, who will be talking about how his company has moved away from proprietary cloud, to embrace the open source OpenStack cloud infrastructure on an “unprecedented scale” among large companies.Second, we’ll have Netflix’s director of cloud solutions, Ariel Tseitlin, talk about how that media streaming company continues to scale its offering. Netflix is the poster child for Amazon’s cloud service. It has shown loyalty to Amazon, and so unlike other companies hasn’t moved to a multi-cloud infrastructure. But it continues to build its own tools to augment Amazon’s service, so that Netflix stays up even if some of Amazon goes down. At CloudBeat we’ll talk about what Netflix is doing, and partners like CloudBees it is working with to augment its infrastructure.Next, we’ll feature Jeff McMillan, CEO of Dark Matter Labs, which has built a way to secure computing inside Amazon’s cloud, a highly relevant product given the recent publicity around the NSA’s spying activities. We can’t say too much about the announcement yet, but it’s very timely, and will fit squarely in our theme of the “open cloud” because it can operate across clouds.At CloudBeat, we’ll cut through the cloud hype by gathering real customers who are adopting the cloud in interesting ways. That way, attendees will learn from the path-breakers who are transforming their businesses with the aid of cutting-edge cloud products.

PayPal accidentally credits man $92 quadrillion

When Chris Reynolds opened his June PayPal e-mail statement, something was off.The Pennsylvania PR executive's account balance had swelled to a whopping $92,233,720,368,547,800.That's $92 QUADRILLION (and change).Money that would make Reynolds -- who also sells auto parts on eBay in his spare time -- the richest man in the world by a long shot.Rich, as in more than a million times richer than Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim. And he's worth $67 billion.Oh, if only."It's a curious thing. I don't know, maybe someone was having fun," Reynolds said.So he logged online, and reality bit back. His account balance read $0. The correct amount.PayPal admitted the error and offered to donate an unspecified amount of money to a cause of Reynolds' choice."This is obviously an error and we appreciate that Mr. Reynolds understood this was the case," PayPal said in a statement.Before this incident, the most Reynolds ever made on PayPal was "a little over $1,000" selling a set of vintage BMW tires on eBay.So what would the would-be quadrillionaire have done with all that cash?"I probably would have paid down the national debt," he said.

PayPal today revealed the findings of a global study that paints a dim future for the wallet. A vast majority (83%) of respondents across five countries indicated they wished they didn't have to carry a wallet. Additionally, nearly one in three Americans (29%) would choose a smartphone over a wallet if they could only bring one item when going out.

While American consumers are keen to move to a digital payment future, the businesses that serve them may be lagging behind. More than two-thirds of Americans (68%) reported they have been unable to pay for something because they didn't have cash with them; for nearly one in three Americans (30%), this has happened frequently.

PayPal is launching Cash for Registers, a program to help local businesses to solve this consumer frustration. Next month, merchants can trade in their registers for innovative technology that will allow them to accept credit, debit card, check, and PayPal payments. See more at: http://cashforregisters.com/.

Leave Home Without It

The survey, conducted in the U.S., UK, Canada, Germany and Australia, found striking similarities in consumer frustration across the globe. In each country, strong majorities of consumers reported they wished they could leave their wallet at home. Specific data points include:

-- Americans are in good company: 86 percent wish they could leave a wallet at home; Germans, Canadians, Australians and Brits agreed overwhelmingly (90%, 87%, 80% and 76% respectively) that they'd like to leave a wallet at home;

-- Canadians are most likely to find themselves unable to make a purchase because they don't have cash with them (75%); Germans are the least likely (57%);

-- The UK may be leading the charge towards a wallet-less future - 32 percent reported they would choose a smartphone over a wallet when going out if they could only bring one item.

This Summer's Least-Wanted Accessory: The Wallet

With summer approaching, people are planning for days at the beach, but the study indicates taking a wallet isn't in their plans. The beach topped the survey in every country as the place most people wish they could go without a wallet.

-- The gym/exercising followed closely on the list of locations people wish were wallet-free in every country surveyed;

-- Canadians were most likely to wish they didn't need their wallet at a bar, while Germans and Americans were most likely to wish they could attend concerts or sporting events wallet-free;

-- People in every country also listed the Laundromat, grocery store and restaurants as places they wished didn't need a wallet.

Parking meters are also a source of wallet frustration with nearly one in five (19%) Americans wishing they didn't need a wallet to pay. Lucky for them, by using the ParkMobile app, PayPal enables users to pay the parking meter with their smartphones, reducing the need for spare change.

Americans' payment frustrations aren't limited to wallets. 54 percent of Americans reported that they have been "stiffed" by someone, either intentionally or unintentionally. Victims report this happening most often for a meal. Since PayPal enables person to person transfers, users are able to request that money immediately, helping to reduce the chance they wouldn't get paid (and the likelihood they have to awkwardly hassle a friend for payment).

While each country reported being most often stiffed on a meal, friends purchasing coffee and alcoholic beverages were also likely to not be paid back.

-- Australians are most likely to get stiffed - nearly 6 in 10 (57%) reports being stiffed; Brits are least likely to get stiffed - but most likely to be stiffed for a pint;

-- In Germany and Australia, men are significantly more likely than women to report that they've been stiffed (german:57% men vs. 51% women)(australia:60% men vs. 54% women);

-- Beware of the young - those under 25 are significantly more likely than any other age group to stiff their peers.

Change for Spare Change

The wallet's demise may be preceded only by the extinction of the penny. Earlier this year, Canada ceased distribution of its penny, joining Australia, New Zealand and other countries that have dropped 1-cent coins because of rising metal costs and a diminishing need.

In the U.S., a penny already costs more than 2c to produce, but Americans report their spare change usually isn't used. Nearly 7 in 10 Americans (66%) report they usually put their spare change in a jar and nearly 10 percent just give it to their kids. PayPal and Coinstar are already working together to help consumers easily convert that spare change into a PayPal balance at select Coinstar kiosks nationwide.

-- Americans and Brits are most likely to lose their spare change; Germans are least likely to lose change;

-- Germans are most likely to carry change with them - nearly three times more likely than Americans and nearly twice as likely as Brits.

Solving Payment Pain Points

"It's not about replacing cash or your credit card with a new payment method, it's about using technology to solve real shopping pain points," said David Marcus, PayPal President. "PayPal is at the forefront of developing products that make life easier, help shoppers be more efficient, and untether consumers from their wallets forever."

Through features like Check In and Order Ahead, the company already provides its 128 million customers simpler payment experiences. With the PayPal app, users can use the Check-In feature to pay with just a few clicks and a picture of their face rather than a wallet. Consumers can also "order ahead" in select locations in the United States with the PayPal app, allowing them to pre-order and have their item waiting for them -- already paid for.

About the Survey

The PayPal Survey was conducted by Wakefield Research (www.wakefieldresearch.com) among 1,000 credit and debit card holders, ages 18 and older, in each of the following countries: U.S., U.K., Canada, Germany, and Australia between April 26th and May 13th, 2013, using an email invitation and an online survey.

Results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The magnitude of the variation is measurable and is affected by the number of interviews and the level of the percentages expressing the results. For the interviews conducted in this particular study, the chances are 95 in 100 that a survey result does not vary, plus or minus, by more than 3.1 percentage points, in all of the countries, from the result that would be obtained if interviews had been conducted with all persons in the universe represented by the sample.

In The News: Discover Network.com - 5/01/13

Discover Helps PayPal Reach 2 Million Merchant Outlets by End of 2013Discover today announced it has signed contracts with 50 merchant acquirers that will extend PayPal’s in-store acceptance to more than 2 million merchant outlets by the end of 2013.

The milestone comes eight months after PayPal announced its intent to create an innovative payment option that leverages Discover’s payments infrastructure to provide PayPal’s 55+ million active domestic account holders access to millions of retail stores, restaurants, gas pumps and more.

“With the signing of 50 merchant acquirers to date, we are well on our way toward helping PayPal reach its goals of acceptance at millions of physical locations in the U.S.,” said Diane Offereins, president of payment services at Discover. “Our relationship represents the unique abilities we have to leverage our payments assets and infrastructure to work with emerging payments leaders like PayPal, and we’re proud of the progress we’ve made in such a short time.”

“With Discover’s help we are poised to grow from the 250,000 retailers who accept PayPal in store today to more than 2 million by the end of 2013,” said Don Kingsborough, vice president of retail services at PayPal. “As consumers continue to use technology to shop in new and exciting ways, we will continue to collaborate with Discover’s acquirer partners to support the growing needs of their merchants.”

Some of the largest merchant acquirers and processors have already committed to offering PayPal, includingVantiv, WorldPay, Global Payments, First American Payments, Heartland Payment Systems and TSYS. Other leading acquirers and processors continue to join on a regular basis.

“We are proud to have given our business owners the opportunity to be the first merchants nationwide to let consumers use PayPal in stores,” said Tony Catalfano, President and CEO of WorldPay U.S. “With the expanded acceptance options, our merchants are able to offer more payment choices for their customers, create better opportunities for engaging customers, help increase sales, and solve problems to make their customers’ experience better.”

In The News: PayPal partners with Moneygram - 10/23/13PayPal has partnered with global money transfer company MoneyGram to allow its 117 million users to deposit and withdraw funds to and from their PayPal digital wallets from any one of MoneyGram's 284,000 physical locations.

The pilot run, which a PayPal blog post says will launch in early 2013, helps the payments giant pare down the number of steps it takes for a customer to go from "cash to commerce," which should ultimately translate into more purchases, whether online or offline.

The partnership also gives the 10 million American households without bank accounts access to e-commerce without requiring traditional banking information, such as a credit card number. A consumer who wants to shop online but doesn't own a credit card or bank account probably uses a pre-paid card. Through this partnership, they'll be able to load cash directly into a PayPal account to use anywhere it's accepted.

It's worth noting that MoneyGram also has a money transfer partnership with Walmart, where customers can make in-store transfers without needing a bank account or credit card. Walmart is also testing Bluebird, a new pre-paid card in partnership with American Express that targets a similar, lower-income demographic.

PayPal's MoneyGram partnership fits in nicely with its big play to become the payments solution of choice not just on the web, but anywhere you can shop. In August, it extended the number of brick-and-mortar retailers who accept PayPal to include all those who accept Discover, also to be in effect beginning in 2013.
