Paypal is an online system to pay for your purchases, send and receive money through complete online transactions, meaning there is no need for a physical exchange of money. Users make an account on PayPal and then link it with their bank account to easily and quickly make online purchases. It is a completely secure way to ensure that your payments are made online, as PayPal acts as an intermediary between the user and the merchants just like a bank. Apart from online shopping, PayPal can also be used to transfer and move money from one account to another. For example, sending money to family, friends, colleagues, or roommates as and when required.
