To combat such factors related to the dispersion of funds, PayPal’ Dan Schulman is considering introducing digital wallets where people can receive their money instantly without having to pay any extra charges such as processing fees being levied on them.

PayPal Applauds the US’ Stance on Central Bank Issued Digital Currency
