Aareal Bank Group has expanded its Aareal Exchange & Payment Platform solution (AEPP), which was launched in 2020, by allowing the option to pay with PayPal.
Moving forward, companies will be able to offer their customers payments via PayPal, including credit card payments, alongside the already integrated services offered by the provider.
As a B2B platform solution and link between ERP systems and various payment providers, AEPP can be a key component for companies when it comes to efficient process management of payment transactions and additional services.

“In light of the increasing number of payment providers, it is thus becoming more and more important for companies from all sectors to have fully automated payment transactions, integrating them into the existing process landscape as efficiently as possible. This is where our platform solution comes into play.”

“Customers want to have a range of simple and secure payment methods when it comes to paying their rent, too. Integrating PayPal into the Aareal Exchange & Payment Platform enables companies to connect with more than 375 million active PayPal customers worldwide and offer them the option of paying the way they want to.”
