(Reuters) – Payment processor Paypal Holdings Inc <PYPL.O> reported an 87.4% slump in first-quarter profit on Wednesday, as consumers spent less due to the COVID-19 lockdowns and unemployment numbers surged.

Net income fell to $84 million, or 7 cents per share, in the first quarter ended March 31, from $667 million, or 56 cents per share, a year earlier.
