PayPal was originally established by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek in December 1998 as Fieldlink. Later it was renamed Confinity, [9] a company which developed security software for hand-held devices. [10] When it had no success with that business model, it switched its focus to a digital wallet.
