PayPal

PayPal President, Scott Thompson, has just announced that the company now has a record 100 million active users.

Going forward, Thompson has also stated he believes there will be no more need for wallets come 2015.  To 'put his money where his mouth is' (pun intended), Thompson has created a challenge for five Bay area employees to ditch all forms of payment ouside of digital.  If successful, the marketing attempt will surely cause quite the stir.  Though it seems hard to believe Thompson would issue such a challenge if it weren't easily accomplished.

Of the active users, Thompson said the following:

"As the trend toward digital currency continues to gain momentum, we are focused on delivering solutions that are not just new and different, but better than what is currently the norm today"

 

Of the 2015 wallet-less prediction, Thompson said:

"We believe that by 2015 digital currency will be accepted everywhere in the U.S. -– from your local corner store to Walmart. We will no longer need to carry a wallet.”
