Facebook announced that a new payment feature is now available for Facebook Messenger users in the U.S. Now you can make person-to-person payments by adding your debit card through Facebook Messenger in just a few taps. The money goes straight from your checking account to the recipient’s checking account, said Facebook’s head of messaging products David Marcus in a status post. The Facebook Messenger app is required to use the payments service.

After adding your debit card information, you can send a payment to a Facebook Messenger friend by tapping on the “$” icon within a conversation. Then you have to type in the amount you want to send to your friend and confirm the payment. The recipient accepts payment by opening up the message from their friend and confirming. The payment may take a few days to clear depending on the bank that you use.
