customers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our strong first-quarter results demonstrate sustained momentum in our business as the world shifts into the digital economy,&#8221; Chief Executive Officer Dan Schulman said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The company has been among the big winners of the pandemic as more people used its payment services to shop online and pay bills while staying indoors during the health crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Visa, the world&#8217;s biggest payment processor, is emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic, its top boss said last month, helped by a surge in online shopping.<\/p>\n<p>Venmo, PayPal&#8217;s app which allows individuals in the United States to send each other money, processed $51 billion in payments in the quarter, up 63%.<\/p>\n<p>PayPal also said it expects to add 52\u201355 million net new active accounts in 2021, with an about 30% rise in total payments volume on a spot and forex neutral basis.<\/p>\n<p>The company in February forecast an addition of about 50 million active users in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>It also expects annual revenue and diluted earnings per share ahead of analyst estimates, according to Refinitiv IBES data.<\/p>\n<p>PayPal reported a first-quarter net income of $1.22 per share, beating analysts&#8217; average estimates of $1.01 per share.<\/p>\n<p>Revenue also beat estimates, rising 31%.<\/p>\n<p>Rival Square\u00a0will report quarterly results on Thursday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"storypage-social-bottom\">\n<div class=\"leftside-socialshare\">\n<div
