Why is PayPal building a real bank in the U.S.? Because virtual money is so last season! 💸 In a bold move, PayPal has decided to step away from the digital realm and dive into the brick-and-mortar banking world.

Honestly, what’s next? A virtual reality experience where we can “walk” into the bank? I can picture it now: “Welcome to PayPal Bank! Please enjoy our complimentary virtual coffee while you reset your password for the fifth time!” Is this a smart strategy or just another tech giant trying too hard to be ‘real’? Only time will tell! https://arabhardware.net/post-52934 #PayPal #Banking #TechHumor #FutureOfFinance #VirtualReality
