___*SUBSIDIARIES*___
.
-[paypal holdings incorporated] is an [american company] operating a [worldwide online payments system] that supports [online money transfers] and serves as an [electronic alternative] to [traditional paper methods] [(like (‘cheques’ [‘chex?])) / ‘money orders’)]-
.
(the company operates as a ‘payment processor’ for ‘online vendors’, ‘auction sites’, and many other commercial users, for which it charges a “‘fee’ in exchange for ‘benefits’” such as ‘1-click transactions’ and ‘password memory’)
(paypal’s ‘payment system’ (also called ‘paypal’) is considered a type of ‘payment rail’)
(so ‘paypal’ owns ‘paypal’?)
(so ‘paypal’ + ‘paypal’)
(another example of “1 of my biggest ‘pet peeves’)
(along with ‘british english’ spelling/pronunciation)
(assigning a ‘subsidiary’ the same name as its ‘parent company’)
“why have the same name at all?”
(“does ‘differentiation’ mean anything to any of you???”)
(established in ‘1998’ as ‘confinity’, ‘paypal’ had its ‘initial public offering’ in ‘2002’, and became a ‘wholly owned subsidiary’ of ‘eBay’ later that year)
(in ‘2014’, ‘ebay’ announced plans to spin off ‘paypal’ into an ‘independent company’ by ‘mid-2015’)
(…and completed on ’18 july 2015′)
.
“ORIGINS”
(founded by ‘ken howery’)
(‘stanford class of 1998’)
(as well as a few other dudes)
(includng ‘elon musk’)
(what are the ‘corporate laws’ regarding ‘joint proprietorships’?)
