Founded in 1998, PayPal is one of the oldest and popular digital payment platform, which is available in over 200 markets worldwide and enables users to receive payments in more than 100 currencies, withdraw in 56 currencies and hold a balance in the account in 25 currencies.
The payments platform is now rivalled by the likes of Paytm in India, which have emerged following demonetisation of Indian currency notes in November 2016, which saw a push for a transition to a digital economy. However, PayPal remains the go-to choice of users in India and others worldwide who want to send or receive payments globally.
