Facebook's Testing QR Codes as a New Funds Transfer Tool

Facebook is currently experimenting with a new process that would enable users to transfer funds via personal QR codes in the app.

Facebook confirmed the test to TechCrunch, saying that: 'To make payments on Messenger even easier, we’ve begun testing the ability for people to use QR codes and payment links when they want to send or request money.'

The test is limited to US users at this time, but it could make payment transfers more convenient, while the newfound acceptance of QR codes could see people more open to the option, which may, once again, pave the way for new opportunities via scannable codes.
