History of Paypal

 

PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) was originally established in December 1998 as Confinity, a company that developed security software for hand held devices. Having had no success with that business model, however, it switched its focus to a digital wallet. The first version of the PayPal electronic payments system was launched in 1999. In March 2000, Confinity merged with x.com, an online financial services company founded in March 1999 by Elon Musk.

PayPal went public in 2002 at $13 per share, generating over $61 million. Soon after, eBay bought the company for $1.5 billion, but decided to separate from it in 2015.

Today, Paypal counts more than 360 million active users, and a revenue greater than $25 billion.
