The OLB Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:OLB) has entered into a global partnership agreement with PayPal to enhance its SecurePay payment gateway and broaden digital payment options for small and mid-sized businesses.
Under the deal, OLB is authorized to integrate and support PayPal’s suite of payment solutions across its merchant network. The move is designed to streamline onboarding, improve checkout conversion rates and connect merchants with PayPal’s global customer base.
As part of the collaboration, PayPal’s branded checkout tools — including Venmo — will be embedded directly into OLB’s commerce and payments infrastructure. Merchants will be able to activate PayPal with limited technical requirements while leveraging PayPal’s established brand, international footprint and fraud prevention capabilities.
“We see this partnership as a force multiplier for our merchants,” said Ronny Yakov, CEO of The OLB Group. “By combining OLB’s omnichannel commerce and payment infrastructure with PayPal’s global brand and advanced payments technology, we are giving small and mid-sized businesses enterprise-grade capabilities that were previously out of reach. This agreement is central to our strategy to scale high-margin payment volumes, deepen merchant relationships, and position OLB at the center of the digital commerce value chain.”
Expanded Checkout and Payment Options
The partnership will allow SecurePay users to offer customers a wider array of payment methods within a unified checkout flow, including:
- PayPal Checkout: Integration of PayPal’s payment button and checkout experience across web, mobile and in-store channels.
- Venmo Access: Acceptance of Venmo payments, appealing particularly to mobile-first and younger consumers.
- Unified Reporting: Consolidated reporting and settlement within OLB’s existing merchant dashboard.
- PayPal Pay Later: Buy-now, pay-later options that enable installment payments, aimed at increasing order values and conversion rates.
- PayPal Credit: Promotional financing options at checkout to support larger purchases.
- Fraud Protection: Access to PayPal’s fraud detection and risk management tools.
- Cross-Border Payments: Capability to accept payments from PayPal users in more than 200 markets worldwide.
As a global partner, OLB will handle frontline integration, merchant onboarding and ongoing support, while PayPal will provide the underlying technology and brand resources to maintain a consistent checkout experience.
The companies expect the initiative to help OLB attract new merchants seeking integrated PayPal access while driving higher transaction volumes and additional value-added services. Joint marketing and co-branding efforts are also planned, subject to PayPal’s branding guidelines.
“Today’s consumers expect choice and convenience in how they pay,” Yakov added. “This partnership positions our merchants at the forefront of payment innovation, helping them capture sales they might otherwise lose while future-proofing their payment infrastructure for emerging trends in digital payments and cryptocurrency.”
The rollout is expected to begin in phases starting in the first quarter of 2026, initially targeting existing SecurePay merchants.
