About

PayPal is an online payment service that allows users to send funds from a credit card, bank account, or PayPal balance to merchants without sharing their financial details.

It includes a digital wallet that links to bank accounts and cards, supports transactions in more than 200 countries and regions and 25 currencies, offers buyer protection on eligible purchases, and enables guest checkout for non-account holders.

Visa Protect is a payment authentication platform designed to protect transactions from fraud.

It offers real-time risk-based authentication for issuers and merchants, using AI to score transactions, deliver risk signals, and reduce false declines. It supports EMV 3-D Secure protocol, network-agnostic fraud decisioning across all payment endpoints, tokenization to protect payment data, and a consumer authentication service that allows low-risk transactions to pass without challenge.
