Description

PayPal, a leading online payment platform, was founded in 1998 as Confinity by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek. The company initially focused on developing security software for handheld devices. Later, after a merger with X.com, an online banking company founded by Elon Musk, the company transitioned into the digital payments sphere. PayPal's distinctive blue and white logo, featuring two overlapping 'P' letters, has become synonymous with secure and convenient online transactions and was officially registered as trademark in 2001.
