Barclays takes battle to PayPal
BARCLAYS has stepped up its battle with payment services such as PayPal, letting users of its Pingit app make payments to India.
Once customers subscribe, they can make payments using a mobile number only, rather than more account details.
The British lender has highlighted the threat to traditional banks from digital rivals such as PayPal and Google, and has increased its investment in mobile technologies in a bid to hold their ground in the sector.
