This function is really important for small business and individuals. It significantly expands our existing base of clients as many of them have no debit cards. Now they can withdraw funds from the bank accounts — Redi emphasized.

Instant Transfer is started in cooperation with the American bank JPMorgan Chase which opened PayPal access to infrastructure of calculations in real time of TCH clearing center   (The Clearing House). This platform was created by the leading banks for acceleration of payment transactions, and PayPal became the first company, implemented it, Redi emphasized.
