Facebook Messenger announced money transfers

The social network Facebook has announced the function of direct money transfers in Messenger. So far, this feature applies only to users from the United States.

Funds transferred in this way to “friends” on the social network will be debited and credited to the card connected to the account. Judging by the statements of company representatives and the screenshots provided, Facebook intends to simplify the process of transferring funds as much as possible by adding a simple dollar icon to open a screen to enter the amount of transfer.

Facebook Messenger is one of the world's largest instant messengers, with more than 500 million user base. Last year, Facebook also swallowed WhatsApp with an additional 700 million active users around the world, paying about $ 22 billion for the company.
