PayPal can now be used to fund Samsung Pay purchases

Samsung Pay will now accept PayPal as a payment method in addition to bank accounts, credit cards, and gift cards. It’s a tiny update that could be useful for PayPal customers who want more avenues to spend their PayPal balance in stores, as Samsung Pay is widely accepted anywhere a credit card is, The Verge reports.

The new partnership also allows merchants who use Braintree, PayPal’s subsidiary, to add Samsung Pay as a checkout option.

The update on Monday, July 17 will be available first for customers in the US, with a more global expansion coming “soon.”
