[kictanet] Disruptive technology: Facebook launches Payments on WhatsApp

[Paul Magacha]

Dear Listers,
Another disruption in the mobile payments market. 
Who will be the biggest winners? Biggest losers? Partner or compete?
Today Facebook launches payments on WhatsApp in Brazil using Facebook Pay.
"We're making sending and receiving money as easy as sharing photos."
They are also enabling small businesses to make sales right within WhatsApp.

It rolls out in Brazil today but Asia and Africa will soon follow as they are the biggest markets for Facebook.
Interesting times ahead..
Regards,
Paul.
