Seamless Crypto Transactions: MoonPay Integrates PayPal

03 May 2024

MoonPay has partnered with PayPal to enhance the user experience for crypto purchases. This integration allows users to fund their crypto buys using PayPal, simplifying the process and lowering entry barriers for new users.

MoonPay, a cryptocurrency payment gateway, has marked a significant milestone by announcing its integration with PayPal. This partnership enables US users to purchase cryptocurrencies using their PayPal accounts seamlessly. Therefore, it positions MoonPay as the first on- and off-ramp provider to offer such a service in the US.

The collaboration between MoonPay and PayPal simplifies crypto purchases, especially for users already familiar with PayPal’s services. Customers can utilize their PayPal balance, direct bank withdrawals, or debit cards to fund crypto purchases directly on MoonPay’s platform.

Ivan Soto-Wright, MoonPay’s co-founder and CEO, told BeInCrypto that the partnership reflects a significant step towards integrating traditional financial services with the field of digital currencies. It streamlines cryptocurrency trading to enhance the user experience.

“For MoonPay users transacting with PayPal, we’ve ensured the process is seamless – users can purchase with PayPal without setting up additional accounts or entering new payment information. And those with an existing PayPal account won’t need to manually input their card information when they buy crypto on MoonPay,” Soto-Wright said. He emphasized that this move aims to reduce the entry barriers for new users by providing a familiar transactional environment through PayPal.
