Facebook has got you covered with its Facebook Pay feature, launched to help users send and receive money more efficiently. In this article, we will show you how to use the Facebook Pay feature to send and receive money seamlessly.

Facebook Payment Account Setup

Facebook Pay is not a standalone app; instead, it allows users to make payments across Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram. With Facebook Pay, users can make payments using their debit or credit cards. Facebook Pay also supports payments for fundraisers, in-game purchases, person-to-person payments, event tickets, and a few pages on Facebook Marketplace.

Sending Money with Facebook Pay

Sending money with Facebook Pay is stress-free and can be done using the Messenger web and app. Here’s how to send money via the Facebook Pay app:

  1. Open your Facebook Messenger, and start a conversation with the person you want to send money to
  2. Tap the dollar “$” icon
  3. Enter the amount you wish to send
  4. Tap “Next” and the money will be on its way to the receiver’s account

If you don’t see the $ icon, please contact Facebook customer care. Also, the first time you make any payment, you’ll need to provide funding information easily during the payment process. During the transfer, you’ll either use your debit card number or PayPal account.

Receiving Money with Facebook Pay

Receiving money via Facebook Messenger is also easy and free. When a friend sends you money via Facebook Messenger, you’ll receive a notification from Facebook. If you have PayPal or a debit card associated with your Facebook account, your money will be sent directly to either of them. If not, you’ll be required to provide these details to Facebook; then, your money will be wired to you.
