Payments between users of this messaging application might be the next step after the new emoji that will arrive in summer. Without a doubt the quintessential messaging application does not stop surprising users, both for good things as bad, but lately is putting batteries and above all on the issue of the updates of the application, etc. In this case it is a new option that I would add to the application the option of performing interbank customers payment of WhatsApp.
This which so far seems rather far away might be closer than we think and is that the company would be in negotiations to take this step in the India, where have today more than 200 million active users. Remember that far WhatsApp has 1,200 million active users and add this payment method could be an interesting feature for its users thanks to the agreement that seems to have come with UPI, a system of bank payment supported by the Indian Government which could be made available in the application.
Negotiations continue in this regard and has long Brian Acton, one of the co-founders of WhatsApp held meetings with the Minister of industry of India to sharpen a system of payment among users of the India within the messaging application now owned by Facebook. It seems that the negotiations gave its fruits and is going slowly revealing some interesting details about this new service. In any case, what we have on the table is a function that is expected to arrive in the short term, Yes, we are talking about that in about 6 months they could implement this option in the application but we are not clear what it would take to expand to other countries the option of pay with WhatsApp.
