PayPal ficha en BBVA su nuevo responsable para España

PayPal has appointed Marcelo Campos as their new General Manager (Country Manager) in Spain, according to financial sources cited by EXPANSION. Campos replaces Beatriz Giménez, who resigned last May due to personal reasons. Campos previously served as the Chief Growth Officer at Openpay, BBVA's payment processing platform, where he joined in the summer of 2022.

Campos boasts over 30 years of experience in the payments industry and has previously held positions such as General Manager and Marketing Director in Spain. During these years, PayPal established itself as one of the first global fintechs to operate in the Spanish market. Prior to PayPal, he held executive roles at American Express, British Airways, and MasterCard.

The Spanish payments sector is experiencing a period of growth, with an increasing number of fintechs and neobanks competing against traditional banks. PayPal's Chief Executive Officer, Enrique Lores, is working to boost the company's sales and streamline its organization to reduce costs and accelerate product launches. In Spain, the company is currently monitoring the potential introduction of new financial services that it already offers in other countries, with a particular focus on financing for businesses.
