Payment system PayPal is some foreign popular money transfer service analogue of WebMoney. The resource began to exist during the formation of the first payment systems, which began to explore the Internet. Preparations for the launch were completed in 1999. In the autumn of the same year, the system was put into operation. The project immediately interested investors. It was because of the increased interest in the startup that tens of millions of dollars were raised. Since then, the number of users has been growing steadily.
The project developers most successfully chose the moment to start the functioning of the resource. The rapidly developing world wide web insisted on the rapid implementation of high-quality online banking services. PayPal money appeared at a good time and successfully began to solve pressing consumer problems and became a global brand.
Already in 2002, shares of the payment system were issued on the US stock market. The value of the total mass of securities was very impressive - more than 900 million dollars. In the same year, the largest eBay auction became the owner of PayPal. The auction owners immediately announced that the system was becoming the main tool for making payments on their site.
Currently, the project is an absolute leader in the field of online payments. By the number of users and the turnover of financial flows, the stick, as it is often called by Russian citizens, remains unattainable for other payment platforms. The development of PayPal does not stop and a multi-currency payment support mechanism has been introduced.
