PayPal Holdings, Inc. has submitted applications to the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation with the goal of establishing PayPal Bank, a proposed industrial loan company chartered in Utah. This move signifies PayPal’s intent to deepen its involvement in providing financial services directly to U.S. small businesses, a sector that has historically faced challenges in accessing capital. The company has previously supported small businesses by providing over $30 billion in loans and working capital to more than 420,000 business accounts globally since 2013.

The creation of PayPal Bank, if approved, is intended to allow PayPal to offer business lending solutions more efficiently to small businesses across the United States. This initiative aims to reduce the company’s reliance on third-party financial institutions and bolster its own business operations. The establishment of the bank is also projected to enable PayPal to offer interest-bearing savings accounts to its customers. Furthermore, PayPal Bank would pursue direct membership with U.S. card networks, complementing its existing processing and settlement activities conducted through established banking relationships.
Customer deposits held at PayPal Bank would be eligible for FDIC insurance coverage, a critical assurance for account holders. Mara McNeill has been designated to lead PayPal Bank as its President. McNeill brings extensive experience to the role, with over 25 years in the financial services sector, including backgrounds in banking, commercial lending, and private equity. Prior to joining PayPal, she held the position of President and CEO at Toyota Financial Savings Bank.
The proposed industrial loan company is part of PayPal’s strategy to address the ongoing need for capital among small businesses seeking to expand, manage inventory, and invest in their growth. By streamlining access to these financial tools, PayPal aims to foster greater economic opportunities for businesses throughout the U.S. The company anticipates that these changes will strengthen its overall business model and improve operational efficiencies.
