Overview
PayPal is an American payments company founded in 1998 as Confinity and headquartered in San Jose, California, that pioneered sending money by email address rather than account number. It runs a two-sided network connecting hundreds of millions of consumers with tens of millions of merchants across more than two hundred markets, processing well over a trillion dollars of payment volume a year. The group also owns Venmo, Braintree, Xoom and Honey, giving it peer-to-peer transfers, merchant processing infrastructure, international remittances and shopping rewards alongside the core checkout button.
