PayPal was created in 1998 by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek as a digital payment platform to facilitate secure online transactions. Initially developed as Confinity, it aimed to provide a convenient alternative to traditional payment methods. PayPal gained popularity for its ease of use and security features, eventually becoming widely adopted for online shopping and money transfers.
