As part of Facebook’s plan to be everything to everyone,the social media company has announced that their Messenger app will now allow you to send money to your friends after they’ve connected information from their MasterCard or Visa debit card accounts. Users activate the feature by tapping a dollar sign while chatting with a friend in Facebook’s Messenger app. Based on what’s in this document, it looks very easy to use.
Now, I’m pretty sure that this got the attention of execs at Apple, Samsung and Google who are battling it out for supremacy in the mobile payment space. Anyone want to take bets on how long it will take for a similar feature to appear in their messaging apps?
