BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) and PayPal have teamed up to
allow contacts start sending and receiving PayPal funds via the Instant
Messaging platform.
According to Matt Gromada, PayPal’s Director of Consumer
Product Marketing, users will connect their PayPal account to BBM to enable
this feature.
Once the user selects the PayPal “Send Money” icon in BBM
and connect his PayPal account, he can start sending money to family and
friends once they have also connected their PayPal accounts to BBM. From there,
they simply select the PayPal icon directly in BBM, enter in the amount of
money, review the details, and hit send.
Starting today, the external beta will be available for
BlackBerry, iOS and Android BBM users in Canada, and will roll out to other
regions around the globe in the coming weeks.
The beta is currently only available to select BBM users in
Canada. More countries to follow shortly.
