PayPal is a American multinational technology company and website allowing transfer of money among people via web services and email. The money can be deposited into a bank account. PayPal was owned by eBay, from 2002[5][6] to 2015.[4][7] It can be used in more than 200 countries.[8]
PayPal allows customers to send, receive, and hold funds in 25 currencies worldwide.[9] However, PayPal is not a bank.[10] Funds that are not used are converted into PayPal's profit.[11]
