PayPal (formerly X.com) that was founded in 1998 belongs to an Electronic Payment Systems, more precisely to
Generic Systems subgroup. It is located in San Jose and carries out services that provide the possibility of sending and receiving money by means of computers in an easy, secure and fast way using an account-based system. This can be done by anyone (a private person or legal entity) who has an email address. When the money is transferred, a message is sent to the recipient's email address notifying about the transaction. At the same time certain security measures are taken during these operations. One can still charge his or her account without having an electronic card, using the bank

    With eBay focusing on PayPal as the primary engine of its growth, we take a deeper look at the value of the Payments unit, and its growth opportunities over the coming years. We continue to believe the upper range of the company’s outlook for $4B-$5B in F’11 revenues could be difficult to reach, but think $4B could be achievable. At a 20x multiple to our F’11E segment Net Income, the PayPal business would be worth $9B. • Off-eBay growth will be key. We estimate that, by 2011, eCommerce and online travel will combine to be over $1 trillion worldwide, up from $770B in 2008. By our estimates, PayPal accounted for ~4.2% of the off-eBay volume of combined eCommerce and travel last year. We believe the number would need to rise to more than 6.0% in F’11 in order for the company to meet the low end of its F’11 revenue target. • Increasing on-eBay penetration remains a driver. The maturation of PayPal in international markets can be a key catalyst for increasing penetration, as the low-hanging fruit on the domestic site has largely been picked. Further, expanding credit offerings to make PayPal a viable option for higher-ticket items can help offset sluggish GMV growth. • BillMeLater should improve longer-term funding mix. Segment margins in the two quarters since the BML acquisition have been down 500 bps Y/Y. However, because BML is funded through ACH, we think it can improve PayPal’s funding mix, and eventually drive better margins. • Brand is a valuable asset. Alone among online-only players, PayPal has established a payment brand to compete with incumbent players such as Visa and MasterCard. We believe PayPal can continue to push penetration as an alternative payment platform; alternatively, PayPal could try to expand its footprint in the payments ecosystem and become a merchant acquirer, focusing especially on smaller and mid-size merchants.…
