Economy: We cannot control the economy of the world or nation so must adjust when the economy goes up or down, during inflation, deflation or recession. As PayPal is into financial transfer, a major economic factor that affects us is the obdurate rise and fall of exchange rate

Competition: Our services is not unique to us, there are other companies that also engage in online money transfer, so there is bound to be competition. Since we cannot control what they do, we always try to adjust our strategies in other to be distinguished.

Customer: Customer’s behaviour cannot be controlled, and highly unpredictable. Their wants and desires change all the time. Thus, we always adjust and adapt to be able to meet up with these new demands in other not to lose them to competitors.

Political: Most times new government policies influence our planning. For example the government of United States can decide to enforce a legislature for the lessening or increment on spending and money transfer. This will obviously make us adjust our plans and strategies. Also we are affected by foreign trade policies since we deal with different nations, we must not forget political instability.
