- PayPal World will allow users to pay the use of their national wallets
- PayPal/Venmo, NPCI, Tenpin and Mercado Pago unite forces
- The system works with open source API, so it must be easily expandable
PayPal has launched a new platform with the hope of simplifying cross -border trade by connecting the main digital wallets and the payment system to facilitate multiple transactions.
With PayPal World, users can pay internationally using their national wallets and payment methods.
With more than two billion users leading worldwide, the new platform is expected to land in the fall of 2025, but only selected countries can benefit from easier cross -border payments in the launch.

From the launch, Paypal World will work with Mercado Pago (Mexico), NPCI International Payments (India), PayPal (USA), Global Tenpin (China) and Venmo (USA).
“For much of the world population, international purchases and money transfers are not only difficult, sometimes they are impossible,” the company said in a press release.
The platform uses open source API to facilitate more wallets to incorporate and increase interoperability in the future, but PayPal did not mention any company that could join its worldwide platform beyond initial launch partners.
“The challenge of moving money through borders is incredibly complex and, yet, this platform will make it so simple for almost two billion consumers and companies,” said PayPal CEO, Alex Chriss.
Paypal gave some examples of how global customers could use their new platform, including international visitors in China who can scan their PayPal application with a merchant who accepts the payment of Weixin, and UPI users in India can pay with their local wallet in a US electronic commerce site.
The NPCI International Payments CEO, Ritesh Shukla, welcomed the new platform, adding that “aligns with [NPCI’s] Vision to make cross -border payments more perfect, safe and inclusive. “
“In addition to the payments, Tenpay Global will deepen your collaboration with PayPal World in remittances,” added the CEO of Tenpin Global Wenhui Yang.
