PayPal
PayPal is an electronic payment, storage and money transfer
method that is operated by PayPal Inc., which is owned by eBay Inc.
Founded in 2000 PayPal was one of the first and currently is one of the
most popular on-line services for money transferring. Although there is account
balance associated with each PayPal account, PayPal doesn't employ virtual
currency units (unlike e-gold and WebMoney),
remaining a pure payment system.
PayPal accounts are anonymous and are based on the customer's e-mail address.
But the credit card is required to add the funds into the balance or send payments
to other customers.
PayPal charges fees for receiving funds and for withdrawing funds from the account
balance to the bank accounts outside U.S. The sender of the funds doesn't pay
any fees if transfer occurs only inside the payment system.
PayPal is a convenient electronic payment system to use with the Forex brokers.
Because all payments are instant, you can use your credit card without exposing
it to anyone except PayPal and there are enough various brokers that accept
PayPal for funding purposes. Unfortunately, PayPal doesn't allow residents of certain
countries (the majority of the countries) to accept PayPal payments, making it
useless to the Forex traders from such countries.
Here is the short list of the
Forex brokers that accept PayPal:
