Amazing PayPal Statistics and Facts (2019) | By the Numbers

Article Last Updated: September 6, 2019 by Craig Smith Filed Under: All Stats and Fun Facts, eCommerce Statistics, Financial Statistics, Fintech Statistics

Here are a few of the more interesting PayPal statistics and facts I was able to dig up. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.

PayPal Statistics and Facts

Relatively speaking, PayPal has been around forever which makes it easy to take for granted. That said, who would’ve thought that the little service we used to pay for eBay impulse purchases 10 years ago would become such an eCommerce force and still going strong in 2018?

One would think that an online banking platform used by 200+ million people would have an abundance of interesting stats and PayPal certainly doesn’t disappoint.

PayPal Facts

  • PayPal website: paypal.com
  • Year PayPal launched: 1998
  • PayPal Headquarters:  San Jose, CA
  • PayPal Founders: Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Yu Pan, Max Levchin, Ken Howery, Luke Nosek
  • PayPal CEO: Dan Schulman
  • Key Subsidiaries: Braintree, Paydiant, Xoom, Venmo, Tradera, iZettle, TIO Networks

What is PayPal?

PayPal is the safer, easier way to pay and get paid online. The service allows anyone to pay in any way they prefer, including through credit cards, bank accounts, PayPal Smart Connect or account balances, without sharing financial information. (source)
