PayPal Holdings Inc and Visa Inc said they are extending into the Asia-Pacific region a partnership that currently covers only the US, in a move aimed at boosting transactions via digital payments for both companies. 

Similar to the US deal announced in July last year, the collaboration will allow users of PayPal and Visa cards to choose either mode of payment, the companies said April 5. Previously, PayPal had sparred for years with credit-card firms for control over online and in-store transactions.
