Walmart Inc. named PayPal Holdings Inc. Chief Financial Officer John Rainey as its new finance chief, turning to a company outsider as it seeks to build a financial-technology venture and a membership program. 

Rainey will start his new job June 6, Walmart said in a statement Tuesday. A veteran of United Airlines who jumped to PayPal in 2015, Rainey will replace Brett Biggs, who last year announced plans to leave Walmart by early 2023.
