What you described has been available for a long time. The old Facebook Pay (i.e. the ability to send payments to your friends via ACH) has been available in Messenger for at least 5 years (probably even longer). This new Facebook Pay seems to just add an easy way to link payment methods to your account and pay merchants on Facebook/Instagram.
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoI'm just glad they're doing this properly. They wasted almost a decade on determining what everyone in the world already knew, i.e. ads in messaging products are just. not. gonna. work. I guess that they were blinded by the margin discrepancy, like many others.
- xiphias2 5y agoIsn't ACH a US specific thing? For sending money inside a country is easy generally, international payments are much harder.
- asd88 5y agoYep, ACH is US specific, which is why Messenger Facebook Pay is only supported in the US [1] [1] https://pay.facebook.com/availability https://pay.facebook.com/availability
