#3That would be quite a play. Stripe, PayPal, Venmo, Braintree, Xoom all under one umbrella. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) for online card-not-present (CNP) checkout on that is going to be absurdly high and this will take a lot of convincing to beat antitrust. They will probably have to unwind Venmo and Braintree.

No reason it can’t be broken apart in the future. States will likely file suit, as twelve already have regarding the Paramount Warner deal.

Gosh, with such efficiency of operations consumers will win because pricing of their services will be more efficient! Todays Feds will try selling that story.

Convince who? There is no such thing as antitrust anymore in the USA, it’s merely the size of the bribe required to let the merger go through now

#9Paypal is quite popular in Germany but with Wero that popularity will decrease significantly. I expect that all around the Europe.

Except for Stripe and other payment gateway companies, of course
