By GlobalDataIn a blog post, Monese said: “We’re really excited to launch our new collaboration with PayPal.
“Our customers travel the world for study, work, family, or retirement, and we know they’re avid PayPal users. So now you can get all the freedom of Monese, with the added scale, speed and security of PayPal.”
Customers can link their PayPal account in Monese app by tapping the ‘Account’ button and then ‘Add account’. By providing the PayPal credentials, they can connect the two accounts. They can also select the Monese cards they want to link.
Launched in 2015, Monese is said to have signed up more than one million customers.
In September last year, it raised $60m in its Series B funding round. Recently, it partnered with reward currency platform Avios.
