Google Pay follows with 25 million users and Samsung Pay with 16.3 million users. Yes, Starbucks, I know, I'm surprised as well, but it seems to be a popular method of payment in the US. 43.9 million people report using it at least once followed by Starbucks with 31.2 million. In fact, this may be one of the reasons why Apple Pay is the most widely used mobile payment service in the US. However, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay can be used with smart watches which are becoming more and more popular. Doesn't matter if it's Firefox, Chrome or Safari. PayPal is also ahead of the competition when it comes to web and website payments since you can complete the payment by using any web browser. PayPal also allows you to send money to people in over 200 countries worldwide as long as they also have the app. The recipient can just pick up the payment at their local bank. PayPal owns Xoom which allows users to send payments to users in 131 countries without the recipient needing an app or a smartphone. However, PayPal appears to have the best international payment support. When it comes to mobile payments, PayPal competes with the likes of Google Pay, Cash App, Zelle, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Venmo although Venmo is actually owned by PayPal. The main change was increasing the range of payment options for customers by including Apple Pay along with saving payment options and others. Recently, PayPal added more features to its payment solutions for small businesses. I keep seeing an ad for Honey almost every single day, I think the other brands are more US-focused (I'm UK-based), but the gist of it is that PayPal is becoming more popular, more established. The family of PayPal brands includes Braintree, Chargehound, Honey, Venmo and others so the company has a very strong brand presence.
