    PAYPAL Holdings Inc chief executive officer Dan Schulman defended his strategy of inking deals with big merchants and smartphone app providers, and offering free peer-to-peer payments as investors sent shares down on concerns the efforts are hurting the company's quarterly profit.

    PayPal, in its first quarter as a stand-alone company separate from eBay Inc, said that it added four million accounts to reach 173 million users. Its total payments volume gained 20 per cent to US$69.7 billion from a year earlier.
