Facebook announced this week that its Messenger users across the US will be able to send and receive money to/from their friends.
All users need to do is add their debit card details to their Messenger app and payments can be sent. It’s a clever way for Facebook to keep their users on site for longer periods of time and stop them from using other outside services such as Paypal and online banking, that could be competition if this service (excuse the pun) pays off!
We’re not convinced that we’d be comfortable using Facebook to make payments to our friends but the people at the mighty Facebook obviously think it’s worth a shot
