Facebook's Messenger app will soon let you send your friends money.
Services including PayPal, its Venmo unit and the disappearing-photo app Snapchat already let you beam money to friends and family using smartphones linked to bank accounts or credit cards.
Now Facebook has joined the fray, adding payments to its Messenger service.
Today we’re adding a new feature in Messenger that gives people a more convenient and secure way to send or receive money between friends,' the firm said in a blog post.
'This feature will be rolling out over the coming months in the US, and it’s easy and free.'
Facebook's entry, announced Tuesday, is free, works with debit cards and is available on Apple and Android mobile devices and on desktop computers.
The world's largest social network will process the payments and emphasized the service's security features.
Facebook will likely expand internationally after the service becomes available to U.S. users over the coming months.
To send money, Messenger users can tap a new "#39;' icon that's next to the buttons that let you send photos, stickers or a thumbs up sign.
Then, enter the amount you want to send, tap "pay" on the top right corner and enter your debit card number.
