Curve, the London-based Fintech that combines all your cards and accounts into a single smart card and app, today announced it has teamed up with PayPal, one of the global leaders in online payments, to offer customers the ability to spend with their PayPal account everywhere Curve Mastercards are accepted.
Customers will be able to directly connect their personal or business PayPal account to Curve quickly and easily, without having to enter account, debit or credit card details, and select it as their preferred payment option to make purchases in-store, expanding PayPal's reach to include all point-of-sale and contactless transactions.
The collaboration between Curve and PayPal will also allow consumers to earn cashback on their PayPal transactions with the brands they love and build it up in their Curve Cash balance to either spend straight away or save up for a special treat.
“We are extremely excited to be working with PayPal and join forces to provide the very best products and experiences to our customers, all in one place” said Shachar Bialick, founder and CEO of Curve. “Our work with PayPal takes us another step further to unlock new opportunities for digital payments, and also cements our position as one of the most consumer-centric financial products in anyone’s wallet or cellphone.”
Founded in 2015 with a mission to simplify the way people spend, send, see and save money, Curve’s mobile platform allows customers to manage their spending on all linked debit and credit cards, and access a growing number of payment functionalities including contactless and mobile payments. Curve’s mobile platform also provides customers with access to innovative features including its ”Go Back in Time” transaction switching solution, cashback, competitive FX rates and free ATM withdrawals.
