Story summary
  • PayPal CEO Enrique Lores announced Venmo will become a standalone segment.
  • Lores said reporting lines will be reorganized to separate Venmo from other operations.
  • The restructure will also launch a PayPal-branded business for merchants and consumers and a payment services unit that includes Braintree and crypto.
  • PayPal will hire a digital-banking executive to lead Venmo, a step Lores expects will spur growth after the stock fell 80% under Alex Chriss.
