Recently, the man who has been touted as the world's richest and the co-founder of Paypal, Elon Musk, observed that "money is fundamentally digital at this point and has been for a while." He is not wrong.
According to McKinsey & Company, one of the world's leading management consultancy firms, around 82% of Americans in 2021 used some form of digital payment. This is a continuation of positive mobile payments for e-commerce trends.
These trends indicate that although traditional digital payment networks such as Visa and Mastercard are still quite popular, financial tech networks such as PayPal are growing steadily in terms of their user base, especially among younger populations in the country.
PayPal was founded in 1998 as an alternative to traditional paper-based transactions. Today, it boasts compatibility with 25 different currencies and is available in more than 200 countries/regions worldwide.
Here are the top 10 companies using PayPal in the US in 2022.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced many to adopt digital payments, and the trend that was set then is expected to continue in the years to come.
PayPal is one of the world's most popular digital wallet technologies that enables cashless transactions. Its annual revenue in the year 2021 was $25.3B, which was the result of a whopping 19.3B transactions completed on the platform that year. This was an increase of over 25% as compared to the 15.4B transactions in 2020.
Since digital payments are here to stay, more and more companies are expected to look towards incorporating PayPal support into their websites and eCommerce platforms.
This will ensure that they do not lose out on valuable revenue due to the non-availability of PayPal as a payment option.
