Uber, PayPal (PYPL) Extend Payment Partnership to 19 Additional Countries

Uber posted the following to its website on Wednesday:

We believe choice is a beautiful thing, especially when it comes to paying for rides. Today, we’re excited to announce that we have expanded our integration with PayPal to 19 countries around the world.

Now riders in 9 new countries – Canada, Greece, Hong Kong, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Sweden & Switzerland – can pay for their trips using PayPal directly from the rider app.

We’ve partnered with PayPal since November 2013, and riders who use PayPal in our first 10 markets – Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United States – have loved the flexibility and choice. And now millions more riders will have that same choice.
