Company Information
PayPal Holdings, Inc., founded in December 1998, is a technology platform and digital payments company. PayPal, founded by Max Levchin, Luke Nosek, Peter Thiel, and Ken Howery, originally started as Confinity and developed security software for handheld devices.
Confinity transitioned into a money transfer service in 1999 and merged with an online financial services company X.com founded by Elon Musk in 2000. It retained the name X.com initially and was renamed PayPal when it came out with an Initial Public Offer (IPO) in 2002. The IPO at $ 13 per share generated $ 61 million.
PayPal soon gained popularity as an online payments platform; eBay acquired it for $ 1.5 billion the same year. Its shares were valued at $ 23 per share. Paypal became the official payments transfer service for eBay.
The company entered into a partnership with the Discover Card network in 2012 to allow its customers an opportunity to use PayPal in physical stores. PayPal customers could make PayPal payments in any of the seven million stores that support the network.
eBay decided to spin-off PayPal into a separate entity on September 30, 2014. PayPal began trading as an independent entity on NASDAQ (PYPL). Dan Schulman was appointed the president and the CEO, while the former eBay CEO John Donahoe became the chairman.
