PayPal has faced increased competition from digital wallets offered by Apple and Google, while Stripe has expanded aggressively in merchant services and financial infrastructure. Reuters PayPal's board believes the $53 billion takeover proposal from Stripe and Advent International does not adequately value the payments giant even as the offer ranks among the largest technology acquisition attempts in recent years, according to a new report. The board has not formally responded to the unsolicited bid and is continuing to evaluate the proposal alongside PayPal's ongoing turnaround efforts, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
