“After months of teasing, Facebook has finally added payments to its Messenger app – in the US at least. The service lets users pay friends within the private messaging app ‘in just a few taps’ and Facebook has described it as ‘easy and safe’. Facebook formally announced in March that it would be competing with services such as PayPal and Snapchat, which already lets users beam money to friends and family using smartphones linked to bank accounts. David Marcus, Facebook’s head of messaging products, announced the launch in a post on the social network. The service is free and is available on Apple and Android mobile devices and computers in the US.”
