LONDON (Reuters) - Volumes on PayPal Inc's 'buy now, pay later' platform were five times higher this Black Friday compared with a year earlier as the payments giant starts to gain traction in the fast-growing credit method, the company's chief executive told the Reuters Next conference.
PayPal launched its "Buy in 4" platform in August last year, making its entry into the increasingly competitive lending niche.
