The explosion of online payment systems is transforming the way people do business. PayPal, the most popular of these systems, is leading the sector with millions of customers, five times the amount of any other online payment service.

Launched in November 1999, PayPal merged with X.com in March and combined both sites' online payment services. PayPal allows anyone to send and receive money instantly through a secure method of online payment.

You can:
  1. Pay with Credit Cards
  2. Make Electronic Transfers (from your bank account) or
  3. Use your own PayPal online account to pay for items all over the web or to send and receive money from friends and family.

PayPal is the first web-based payment service that enables consumers to email money via their credit cards, bank account or from an established PayPal account. PayPal's state-of-the-art security and cutting-edge web-server technology, which were developed under the guidance of encryption pioneers at Stanford University, make it one of the most secure electronic payment systems to date. Its key strategic and financial backers include Idealab Capital Partners, Goldman Sachs, Nokia Ventures, and Deutsche Bank.
