Service provider

PayPal provides me with much reassurance when making online transactions. I know they will provide an excellent service should I experience any difficulties. They do not charge for transactions which is good customer service. Reviewed on: 25th May 2024

Easy to use app and reliably secure

4
I like how easy to use and reliable the app is. I also like how secure it is. I also like how many different cards they accept, including American express. The "friends and family" option is great for sending with fees. The fee-paying options are good for when you need extra security or protection. Reviewed on: 24th May 2024

Paypal came to my rescue after a difficult retailer refusing a refund. The whole process was dealt with efficiently & quickly & I received my money. I have been with PayPal for a long time, & never had a problem with payments going out or coming in, highly recommended!! Reviewed on: 24th May 2024
