The Only Way to use PayPal Credit In-Store

The Only Way to use PayPal Credit In-Store

PayPal Credit is a great way to spread the cost of large online purchases, offering 0% interest for 4 months on any purchase over £99. The not-so-great part is that it’s limited to online purchases. Luckily, we have a solution in the form of Curve, a mobile wallet that enables PayPal purchases in-store for millions of UK customers. 

PayPal recently teamed up with the mobile wallet to invite millions of customers to take PayPal offline and into the real world. So you can now use PayPal Credit in-store by linking your PayPal account to Curve. With your PayPal account linked to Curve, you can use PayPal Credit like any other credit card in your wallet. In shops, at restaurants, and on public transport, not to mention using PayPal Credit at online retailers where PayPal isn’t accepted, such as Amazon and Vinted. All you have to do is download Curve, link your PayPal account and start spending. 

What is PayPal Credit?

PayPal Credit is like having a virtual PayPal credit card, without the physical card.  With 0% interest for 4 months on any purchase over £99, it’s a great way to split the cost of larger purchases. And thanks to Curve, it doesn’t matter whether those purchases are made online or offline.
