Payments company PayPal (PYPL) applied for a Utah industrial bank license, it said Monday, with the goal of creating a lending arm called PayPal Bank.
The company, which also operates the PYUSD stablecoin through a partnership with Paxos, said in a press release it intends to "provide business lending solutions" to small businesses and interest-bearing savings accounts to other customers. It also intends to work with credit card networks.

PayPal also applied for deposit insurance through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
In a statement, PayPal CEO and President Alex Chriss said, "securing capital remains a significant hurdle for small businesses striving to grow and scale."
"Establishing PayPal Bank will strengthen our business and improve our efficiency, enabling us to better support small business growth and economic opportunities across the U.S.," he said.
Utah industrial banks are subject to "the same regulatory and supervisory oversight as commerical banks," but their activities "are not as restricted," according to the Utah Department of Financial Institutions website, with these types of institutions not beholden to the Bank Holding Company Act which regulates federal banks and prevents monopolization.
While PayPal's statement on Monday did not touch on its crypto-specific activities, PayPal has recently grown its foray into crypto, adding wallet-to-wallet crypto transfer functionality earlier this year and allowing its users to create personalized links for sending or requesting funds via crypto.
It's also launched a Pay with Crypto feature for merchant services, acting as an intermediary to let merchants accept cryptocurrencies as payment.
Monday's application comes on the heels of the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a federal bank regulator, granting five different crypto firms initial trust charters, including stablecoin issuers Circle and Paxos, Ripple, BitGo and Fidelity Digital Assets.

‘Dr. Quinn’ Co-Stars Jane Seymour And Joe Lando Reuniting In New Season Of ‘Harry Wild’
The post ‘Dr. Quinn’ Co-Stars Jane Seymour And Joe Lando Reuniting In New Season Of ‘Harry Wild’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Joe Lando and Janey Seymour in “Harry Wild.” Courtesy: AMC / Acorn Jane Seymour is getting her favorite frontier friend to join her in her latest series. In the mid-90s Seymour spent six seasons as Dr. Micheala Quinn on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. During the run of the series, Dr. Quinn met, married, and started a family with local frontiersman Byron Sully, also known simply as Sully, played by Joe Lando. Now, the duo will once again be partnering up, but this time to solve crimes in Seymour’s latest show, Harry Wild. In the series, literature professor Harriet ‘Harry’ Wild found herself at crossroads, having difficulty adjusting to retirement. After a stint staying with her police detective son, Charlie, Harry begins to investigate crimes herself, now finding an unlikely new sleuthing partner, a teen who had mugged Harry. In the upcoming fifth season, now in production in Dublin, Ireland, Lando will join the cast, playing Pierce Kennedy, the new State Pathologist, who becomes a charming and handsome natural ally for Harry.

The new season finds Harry and Fergus delving into the worlds of whiskey-making, theatre and musical-tattoos, chasing a gang of middle-aged lady burglars and working to deal with a murder close to home. Debuting in 2026, Harry Wild Season 5 will consist of six episodes. Ahead of the new season, a 2-part Harry Wild Special will debut exclusively on Acorn TV on Monday, November 24th.
