Facebook Messenger Is Coming After Your Money - Gizmodo

But it’s now becoming more and more clear that Messenger will gladly handle my money if I let it.

Once all the information is in the app, you can send out a request to the people who need to pay you in Messenger, receive the payment through Facebook Pay (the company’s version of Venmo), and transfer it to your bank account.

“If you’ve struggled with dividing up (and getting paid back for) group dinners, shared household expenses or even the monthly rent, it’s about to get easier,” the Facebook Messenger team said in the news announcement.

Person-to-person payments are already possible through Facebook Pay on Messenger, but it’s not clear if Split Payment features, such as splitting the bill equally, will be available in these instances.
