That\u2019s it: like PayPal, except you literally never ever have to leave Facebook under any circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">You\u2019ll also be asked to enter a pin number which Facebook says will protect your money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">If you want to receive money, you\u2019ll also need to link your debit card \u2013 but according to Wired UK, this only takes \u201ca matter of seconds\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">At the moment, you can only send \u00a3250 at a time to friends in the same country as you \u2013 but Facebook hopes to widen the feature so you can pay small businesses, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">\u201cWith P2P payments this paves the path to us enabling small and large businesses to accept payments inside of Messenger,\u201d said David Marcus, who heads up the Messenger team. \u201cA lot of public services require a form of conversation if you can do it in the form of Messenger and add payments on top of things, I think it would be a really good customer experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">So you might just be giving your mate that tenner you owe him now, but rest assured: you\u2019ll soon be able to make reckless and financially irresponsible purchasing choices without ever leaving the safe cocoon of Facebook Messenger. The dream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Source:-\u00a0https:\/\/www.shortlist.com\/news\/facebook-messenger-pay-money-app\/332936<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/innovation\/you-can-now-pay-your-mates-via-facebook-messenger.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can now pay your mates via Facebook Messenger You can now pay your mates via Facebook Messenger:- Facebook\u2019s seamless transformation from \u201cthe place all those embarrassing photos of you in fancy dress from uni live\u201d to \u201cplace where literally every aspect of your social and professional life happens\u201d has [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":51157,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[975],"tags":[7867,95317,95316,95314,95315,95313],"class_list":["post-51149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-innovation","tag-facebook-messenger","tag-facebook-messenger-to-pay","tag-faceless-technology-company","tag-good-customer-experience","tag-pay-small-businesses","tag-safe-cocoon-of-facebook"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51149"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51149\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
