Facebook wants you to pay people on Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp with Facebook Pay

Facebook has just announced Facebook Pay, a single payment system that ties into all of the things under the FB umbrella Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, and, of course, Facebook proper .

Facebook says that Pay should start rolling out this week, albeit only on Facebook/Messenger at first, and only for folks in the US.

The company says it should work with most major credit/debit cards and PayPal, and theyre being careful to note that this is separate from its whole cryptocurrency wallet effort.

It removes some friction from the Facebook Marketplace process and will probably find a natural user base there but, honestly, when it comes to paying a friend back for dinner or paying for that used guitar, theres an absolutely monstrous mountain of alternatives here.
