## Source summary

The Paypers reports that DEUNA expanded its PayPal partnership so enterprise merchants can access PayPal Wallet, Venmo and PayPal Pay Later through DEUNA's existing unified API wherever DEUNA operates. The agreement builds on Express Checkout and PayPal Vaulting work that began in Latin America and is now described by the companies as a global partnership; additional integrations are planned but not specified.

## Why it matters

A single integration can reduce the engineering work required to add payment methods across markets, particularly for retailers, travel, ticketing and subscription businesses. The article relays PayPal figures of 439 million active accounts across about 200 markets, more than 90 million Venmo users, and over USD 40 billion of 2025 Pay Later payment volume across 60 million users, 96% of them repeat users. Those describe PayPal's wider products—not usage through DEUNA. The report gives no exact DEUNA market list, merchant count, rollout timetable, incremental volume, conversion result, fee economics or availability by product and country.
