PayPal Offers Up to $500 Credit For U.S. Federal Employees Affected By Shutdown

According to Reuters, PayPal Holdings on Friday said that it will offer $25 million in interest-free credit to its users who work with the U.S. federal government and are impacted by the shutdown. Employees who use PayPal Credit will be able to avail an advance of up to $500 each, without having to pay any interest. The program was said to last until the government reopens and employees receive their first paycheck. The shutdown has put around 800,000 federal workers nationwide working without any pay.
