PayPal has taken a step toward becoming a regulated bank in the US after submitting applications to establish a new banking entity.
The company said it has filed applications with the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to create PayPal Bank. The proposed entity would operate as a Utah-based chartered industrial loan company.
PayPal said the move would strengthen its business and improve operational efficiency. The company said the bank would allow it to better support small business growth and expand economic opportunities across the US.
According to PayPal, PayPal Bank would provide loans to small businesses and offer interest-bearing savings accounts to customers. The bank would also become a member of US card networks, which PayPal said would complement its existing processing and settlement activities that currently rely on partner banks.
PayPal said the new structure would reduce its dependence on third parties while allowing it to deliver business lending services more efficiently.
PayPal said that since 2013, it has provided access to more than $30 billion in loans and working capital to over 420,000 business accounts worldwide. The company said the proposed bank would build on that activity by improving how it delivers lending solutions to US small businesses.
If regulators approve the application, customer deposits held by PayPal Bank would qualify for FDIC insurance coverage.
