By Heather Somerville 4 Min Read (Reuters) - PayPal Holdings Inc PYPL.O moved to extend the reach of its online payments business through a deal with Visa Inc V.N that is expected to boost the revenue and number of users of the money-transfer service. The PayPal logo is seen during an event at Terra Gallery in San Francisco, California May 21, 2015. REUTERS/Robert Galbraith/File Photo The partnership announced on Thursday is intended to make it easier for customers to use Visa credit and debit cards in PayPal transactions and allow shoppers to use PayPal in brick-and-mortar retail locations. It is PayPal's latest effort to bring its internet payments service to the physical checkout line. In the year since its spinoff from e-commerce company eBay Inc EBAY.O , becoming an independently traded company on Wall Street for the second time, PayPal has grown aggressively. Its revenue for the second quarter is up more than 15 percent to $2.65 billion from a year ago and the volume of pa

Capital One Platinum Secured Credit Card: No Frills, Low Risk - CNET

Image
Deposit and qualifications As with most other secured credit cards, there is no annual fee associated with the Capital One Platinum Secured Credit Card – you're only on the hook for the $49, $99 or $200 deposit. The amount you owe for your initial deposit will be determined by your application. If you'd like a higher credit limit, you can deposit up to $1,000, in which case your limit would equal the amount you deposited. Though some secured credit card issuers give you a pass on a hard credit check, Capital One is not one of them. They will check your credit when processing your application -- as well as your income, employment status and housing payment -- but they do offer preapproval if you're curious to see if you qualify without committing to a full credit check. Note that even once you're approved, your account is not officially "open" until you hand over your security deposit. Once you're set up with this

Small businesses have been throttled by the pandemic, supply-chain glitches, labor shortages and inflation, yet the category as a whole has shown a resilience that makes it ripe for new financial services.  "We've noticed more small businesses getting formed, and they're looking for a way to manage their business in a single location," said Gina Taylor, executive vice president and general manager of business blueprint and banking for American Express.  The number of small businesses in the U.S. reached 33.2 million in 2022, according to the Small Business Administration . That's up from 32.5 million in 2021, 31.7 million in 2020 and 30.7 million in 2019.  Small businesses also do most of the hiring. Eighty percent of the 10.3 million job openings in the U.S. at the end of 2022 were at businesses with fewer than 250 employees, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics . There are 3 million more job openings at small businesses tod

ronniechua This article was published on Dividend Kings on Monday, April 10th. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, how the market's economic narrative has changed this year. In January, hopes of a soft landing created the 8th-best January rally in U.S. history. In February, a red-hot jobs report had Wall Street abuzz about a "no landing" scenario where economic growth didn't even slow down. And March's banking crisis suddenly had us worrying about a hard landing. The February jobs report brought good and bad news. 236K net jobs with 4.2% wage growth is a solid report, and over 1 million jobs created in three months means we're not yet in recession. But before you get too excited about a return to a "soft landing" stock market, let's not forget about two important facts. First, the banking crisis isn't over yet, and probably won't be for many months, if not years. The sav

PARIS , 25 avril 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Les capitaux propres consolidés s'élèvent à 30 705 K€ au 31/12/2022 contre 29 862 K€ au 31/12/21 et 19 819 K€ au 31/12/20 soit, avec les deux derniers exercices, un doublement des fonds propres de 55%, ce qui est une véritable performance (sans la moindre augmentation de capital depuis son introduction en 2000) car la norme IFRS 15 appliquée sur Artmarket à partir du 1S2021, réduit mathématiquement les capitaux propres des sociétés cotées. Le résultat net de l'exercice clos au 31/12/22 se solde par un bénéfice de 1 007K€ contre un bénéfice de 1 154 K€ au 31/12/21. Artmarket.com est donc très nettement bénéficiaire. Le résultat a été impacté par d'importants investissements qui ont été réalisés pour qu'Artmarket.com soit d'ores et déjà presque totalement décarbonée avec ses différents data centers. Le rapport RSE sera très positif par les solutions avant-gard
