Why PayPal Is Kicking Some Customers Out
As much as PayPal (PYPL) is in heated competition with Square (SQ), LendingClub (LC), eBay-backed (EBAY) Adyen, and others for payment and loan customers, there comes a time when the company decides to put its foot down and kick out some customers. This happens when PayPal determines that a customer is in violation of its rules and is promoting hate, which is what happened recently in the case of Infowars. Last month, PayPal decided to terminate its business dealings with Infowars, a far-right American media platform run by controversial radio host Alex Jones.

[$$] Some Companies Spend Plenty to Lure Executives Willing to Relocate
Senior managers are winning flexible schedules that allow them to commute long distances, extended temporary-housing contracts and bigger sums to cover money lost on home sales, recruiters and compensation specialists say. “Talented executives asked to relocate now have the power to get what they need from an employer,” said Hayes Reilly, a managing partner at Preston & Partners Talent Solutions, an executive-search firm. LendingClub Corp. spent nearly $6.4 million to bring two new top officers and their families to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2017, according to an analysis of data from company proxies by research firm Equilar Inc. That sum largely reflects $3 million in relocation bonuses for Steve Allocca, the new president, and Thomas Casey, LendingClub’s chief financial officer.

[$$] ‘Fintech Charter’ Has No Early Takers as Lawsuit Looms
A national banking regulator is offering cutting-edge financial firms a new pathway into the traditional banking system. The lack of immediate interest from the likes of LendingClub Corp., Square Inc., and others comes in large part from uncertainty about what activities the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s so-called fintech charter will allow, what regulatory requirements it will carry, and whether it will hold up in court. The OCC opened its door to formal applications July 31, giving the states a fresh legal angle to pursue after previous suits were deemed premature.
