What it is

PayPal's cross-border payments offering that lets users pay for purchases in other countries through local payment methods, such as Weixin Pay in China.

Why it matters to the stock. Cross-border payments carry higher fee rates than domestic ones, and access to local rails in large markets adds volume that is hard for rivals to copy.
