Mobile payments are an important part in the near future. Companies as important as Apple or Samsung already have their own platforms. In addition, Android Pay recently arrived in Spain. So it was strange that other popular services did not offer their particular option. Y this is the case of WhatsApp.
As it has been known, in the last update there is hidden the option that will be activated in the future. This means that payments between contacts can be made as easily as possible. Also, if this were good, remember that the instant messaging service already has 1.000 million active users up to date. So the amounts that could be moved are considerable.
Now, as indicated from BetaInfo, portal that has discovered the function, until that WhatsApp Business is not fully working, it is certain that WhatsApp Pay is working worldwide.
Let us remember that WhatsApp Business is the way in which Facebook - the owner of WhatsApp - wants companies to know first-hand the interests of the users of the service. That is, Facebook would make available to the different businesses a new way of being able to contact their future customers and offer them the products that really interest them. In addition, this application would also be in charge of facilitating communications between both parties. Why? Well, because a simultaneous translator will be available in the event that either party does not have notions of the main language.
On the other hand, WhatsApp Pay would be based on the UPI protocol. This unified payment interface encompasses all Indian banks. Through this interface, users would be able to transfer money quickly. Currently some 22 Indian banks are members of this system.
Now, at the moment we cannot tell you when this service will be ready. What we can venture you is that Facebook has a lot to say in transactions through the smartphone.
