Research & Development

We strive to perform game-changing FinTech research with Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Information Systems experts.

The PayPal Innovation Lab collaborates with Institutes of Higher Learning to nurture the next generation of Singapore’s FinTech research and technology talent. These students gain access to PayPal’s greatest minds, resources, and experiences, while developing technologies and know-how for tomorrow’s FinTech industry.

Ecosystem Development

PayPal was awarded the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Financial Sector Technology and Innovation (FSTI) Proof of Concept (POC) grant in Jan 2022.

The FSTI POC grant provides funding support for experimentation, development, and dissemination of nascent innovative technologies in the financial services sector. As part of this POC, we demonstrate the reusability of digital identities through the blockchain technology. The whitepaper presenting our project findings can be found here.

Innovating from within

Beyond external engagement, we aim to foster a culture of innovation
by creating an inclusive environment and piquing the interest of all across the organization.

Throughout the year, we engage thousands of employees across the world in tournaments, hackathons and meet-ups to keep the innovation spirit alive.

Witness our capabilities

Our physical lab space is where we transform the abstract into tangible.
Proof of concepts, new solutions and use cases are showcased here, as we continuously challenge the way we think about payments.

This is also a space where we welcome our stakeholders, partners and visitors.
