What are the benefits of using PayPal?

PayPal is a fast, secure way to pay online. We help you make purchases at millions of online stores across more than 200 global markets – all without the hassle of converting currency first.

It’s free to sign up for an account and download our app to send and receive money. We also make it quick and simple to make automatic payments for all your monthly bills and subscriptions.

Secure: Whether you’re paying bills, sending money, shopping, or selling, we work hard to keep your financial information secure. Securely pay just about anyone, anywhere in the world.

Fast: There’s no need to enter all your financial information every time you shop. Add your info to your wallet, then speed through checkout with your card, bank, or PayPal Credit product with freedom and flexibility.

Easy: It’s free to sign up for PayPal where you can make purchases and send money to family and friends, using your PayPal balance or bank account, at no extra cost. Online, in store, or on the go, we’ve got the tools you need to accept payments easily, securely.
