Facebook Messenger Debuts Group Payments

12 April 2017

Facebook Messenger is building out its suite of payment tools.

Messenger users in the U.S. can now send and receive money between groups of people on the app, Facebook announced on Tuesday. Messenger first launched payments in March 2015, when it made it possible for two people to send payments to each other via a debit card stored on the app on Android, iOS and desktop.

“Starting today, you can send or receive money between groups of people on Messenger,” Facebook product manager Partha Sundaram said in a blog post on Tuesday. “It's free, simple, fast and secure.
