I don't know. I went to the theatre last week with some friends. One of them bought the tickets and I didn't have her bank details. We organised everything over messenger.

With this Facebook Pay, I could probably just have paid her from within messenger. Instead I had to open my bank app and have it generate a link, copy that and paste it into messenger. The end result is the same; and with the link it would go straight into her account, but its just a bit more clumsy - using two apps, when with Facebook Pay one will do.

We've got PAYM in the UK, it works with just a mobile number: https://paym.co.uk/

Figured this kind of thing would be common globally considering how far behind the technological curve the UK tends to be.
