PayPal Holdings Inc. is seeking a U.S. bank charter to bolster its small-business lending operations and reduce dependence on third-party financial partners. CEO Alex Chriss framed the MOVE as a solution to "lingering capital challenges" stifling small-business growth, noting the potential for FDIC-insured deposits and interest-bearing accounts if approved by regulators.

The payments giant already holds a Luxembourg banking license and aims to replicate its European infrastructure stateside. This aligns with a broader trend of fintech and crypto-adjacent firms pursuing banking charters to streamline financial services.

Analysts suggest the charter could transform PayPal’s balance sheet dynamics, enabling direct lending without intermediary partnerships. The company’s stock ROSE 2.3% in premarket trading following the announcement.
