Frequently Asked Questions

PayPal reported net revenues of $8.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a 5% increase compared to the same period in 2024. This growth was primarily driven by a 6% increase in Total Payment Volume (TPV) and higher interest and fee revenue from its loan receivables portfolio.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, total operating expenses remained flat compared to the prior year, decreasing slightly by $46 million. This was achieved through a decline in transaction expense and restructuring and other expenses, which partially offset increases in sales and marketing and transaction and credit losses.

PayPal initiated a large-scale technology infrastructure reengineering plan in Q2 2025. This plan aims to improve scalability, reduce latency, decrease operational costs, and optimize the workforce. The company expects this initiative to result in annualized cost savings of approximately $280 million and is expected to be substantially completed by 2028.

PayPal's loan portfolios, both consumer and merchant, experienced growth in outstanding balances. The company actively monitors credit quality, updates its expected credit loss models, and adjusts risk parameters. While transaction and credit losses increased, the company noted that modifications to acceptable risk parameters did not have a material impact on its consumer or merchant loans for the first half of 2025. The allowance for credit losses on consumer receivables increased to $377 million, and on merchant receivables to $147 million as of June 30, 2025.
