- The investment is the first for PayPal Venture's new AI fund, where funding will be used to make hires in North America and Europe in marketing, sales, engineering and customer success.
- Last month, PayPal unveiled a host of new AI-driven features for the new year designed to drive personalisation for both merchants and consumers.
