PayPal Community Donates $64 Million on #GivingTuesday

At PayPal, we are motivated and united by a central mission: to democratize financial services so that as many people and businesses as possible can join and thrive in the digital economy.

This is a 33% increase over donations in 2016, and includes donations originating from 175 different countries.
