Is PayPal Safer Than Banks and Credit Cards?

In actuality, using PayPal may be even safer than using a check or your credit card or bank account to make a purchase.

When you send a payment using PayPal, AEA-Retired won't receive sensitive financial information like your credit card or bank account number.

With PayPal, your financial data is stored away in a single online "vault", whereas the same can't be said when transmitting credit card or bank data online on the internet. Also, paper checks can easily be compromised by fraudsters - all they need is a bank account or routing number to crack into a buyer's account and cause serious financial damage.
