About
Braintree is a Chicago-founded payment processing platform — acquired by PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) in 2013 for $800 million — providing enterprise merchants, global marketplaces, and digital commerce businesses with payment processing infrastructure for credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, Venmo, digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay), and local payment methods across 45+ countries, processing approximately 25 billion transactions annually as PayPal's merchant-facing payment gateway. Founded in 2007 by Bryan Johnson, Braintree revolutionized mobile payment acceptance with its developer-friendly card vault (Hosted Fields reducing PCI scope), the seamless in-app purchase experience that made mobile commerce practical, and the 2013 acquisition of Venmo ($26.2 million, three months before PayPal's acquisition) that turned out to be one of the most valuable mobile payments bets of the decade.
