PayPal is a well-known payment service that is accepted by online merchants all over the world. It functions as an online wallet with which you can make payments, receive payments, and transfer money to and from your bank account. PayPal is renowned not only for its convenience, but also for the extra layer of security it provides. When paying an online vendor your banking or credit card information is completly shielded from the vendor. Also, the PayPal buyer protection policy offers further peace of mind.
ANNO Internet offers the following payment options via PayPal:

- You can use PayPal to pay for purchases, send money worldwide (e.g. to family or friends), and receive money from other PayPal users.
- You can link a South African credit card to fund your PayPal account. You cannot withdraw money from PayPal to your credit card.
