PayPal and KKR Renew Agreement for European Pay Later Receivables

New agreement enables KKR to purchase up to €65 billion of eligible current and future PayPal buy now, pay later loans originated in Europe through March 2028

SAN JOSE, Calif. and NEW YORK, November 17, 2025 - PayPal Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) and KKR, a leading global investment firm, today announced the signing of a new agreement for an up to €6 billion replenishing loan commitment under which credit funds and accounts managed by KKR will purchase up to €65 billion of buy now, pay later (BNPL) loan receivables originated by PayPal in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

This new agreement builds on the successful strategic partnership announced in June 2023, under which KKR's credit funds and accounts have been purchasing a majority of PayPal's European BNPL receivables. PayPal will continue to remain responsible for all customer-facing activities, including underwriting and servicing, associated with its European BNPL products.

"Our continued partnership with KKR reflects the ongoing success of our European buy now, pay later business and our disciplined approach to balance sheet management," said Jamie Miller, Chief Financial and Operating Officer at PayPal. "The enhanced terms of this new agreement will support the ongoing growth of our BNPL portfolio in Europe. It demonstrates our commitment to a balance-sheet light model for credit that helps preserve flexibility for strategic investments and capital return."

"We are pleased to continue supporting PayPal, which has built a strong and high-quality BNPL platform in Europe, as it continues to grow in this important market," said Vaibhav Piplapure, Managing Director at KKR. "This expanded commitment underscores the scale and versatility of KKR's global Asset-Based Finance (ABF) platform."

KKR Capital Markets arranged the debt for the transaction.

This agreement is already contemplated in PayPal's fourth quarter and full year 2025 guidance for GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share, and non-GAAP transaction margin dollars announced on October 28, 2025.
