PayPal 2.0 for Android gets Bump

A new version of PayPal for Android smartphones is coming out with Bump technology on mobile money transfers to Android. Bump technology debits money from one user’s account and credits another when two phones are tapped together, reports Jessica Dolcourt of CNET.

PayPal 2.0 with Bump is currently available on the iPhone. Digital payment of this sort is a much more elegant solution than Square, as cool as that credit card-reading peripheral may be.

Apart from this, there are two important that had previously been absent. The update also allows the user to withdraw money from his account and to request a payment.

For splitting the bill, it also inserts a tip calculator. In order to set payment reminders for rent and bills, PayPal 2.0 also adds a scheduling component. The free PayPal 2.0 for Android app is available in the App Market.

PayPal stops Electronic Transfers to India

Online wallet company PayPal, which had run into regulatory issues with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), has said that it is stopping electronic transfers to the country, until further notice. In an email sent out to account holders from India , Paypal says that from July 29th onwards, users will only be able to request for withdrawal by cheques.

What is good on PayPal’s part is that it says it will refund the $5 (Rs. 230) fee usually charged for cheque withdrawals, for its users in India; it would have had to, in order to prevent an exodus from the site, because with electronic transfers, at worst, transfers below Rs. 7000 were charged Rs. 50. The RBI is concerned that PayPal operates as an unregistered money transfer company in India.
