PayPal

Belgium's KBC has added PayPal balances and transactional information to its mobile bank account aggregation app.

The inclusion of PayPal, alongside Argenta, Belfius, BNP Paribas Fortis and ING, reflects the great strides the company has made in insinuating itself into people's everyday shopping and payments habits.

KBC says the move to add PayPal followed a consultation with customers in which one-third of users said they would like to check their PayPal accounts via KBC Mobile. Within two days, over 5000 customers had synched up their Paypal account within the banking app.

The number of card payments in the euro area have more than doubled in a decade as consumers increasingly dispense with the hassle of carrying notes and coins, according to the latest statistics from the European Central Bank.

In 2018, card payments accounted for almost half of the total number of non-cash payments across the single-currency area.

Credit transfers and direct debits were the second and third most common non-cash payment methods, accounting for approximately 23% each, while e-money and cheques together made up around seven percent.
