In a previous article we had mentioned very important news for those who have Facebook Messenger and a good friend with whom they may wish to carry out a small commercial exchange. Specifically, this news mentioned that it was already possible to transfer money using only the service of this social network, as long as you live in the United States.
Although the procedure was initially dedicated to those who have Facebook Messenger as an independent application of the profile, it has recently been suggested that the latter (Facebook from the web) would also have the possibility of send money to any friend using their chat tool. Below we will give you a complete guide on how you should perform this procedure.
Search for the tool in Facebook chat
If you are using Facebook Messenger, the procedure to be able to send an amount of money to any contact and friend represents the following steps:
- Launch the Facebook Messenger application.
- Choose or search for the contact you want to transfer the money to.
- Now select the "$" symbol at the bottom.
- Define the amount of money you are going to send.
- Send the money.
This would be the regular procedure to be able to transfer money on Facebook Messenger, and you must opt for a similar mechanism if you are using Facebook on the web. There you would only have to look for the chat icon at the bottom right after you have selected a friend to chat with.
In a very similar way to what we mentioned above, here you will also have to define the amount of money you want to send to your contact and friend.
Later you will have to define the type of credit card that you are going to use so that the crime is carried out and the shipment is made directly; In the end you will only have to press the "pay" button.
A pop-up window (as a notification) will appear later, informing you that the transfer has been made and that it will appear in your next account statement list.
An additional window could appear later, in which Facebook advises its users to use a "secure password" if the user is going to send money eventually on other occasions, something that is worth following in order to prevent a hacker can manipulate our account.
How to view the history of payments made with Facebook Messenger
This is the most interesting part of all, the place where we can go to review the status of our credit card and also all the payments that we will have made at a given time. To do this, we suggest you follow the following steps:
- Head towards the small downward arrow at the top right.
- Select the and then choose the option “Configuration«.
- From the left sidebar choose the option “payments«.
Once you have made your way to this area you will be able to see that on the right side, there are three different tabs to explore. The ones that really interest us at the moment are the first two, since in them Virtually all the activity we have done with this credit card will be recorded. The first tab is responsible for showing all the payments or transfers that we have made with this credit card and specifically, on Facebook, and you must pay close attention to all of them to know if any have not been authorized by us.
The other tab, however, shows us the credit card details. If at a certain time we no longer want to use the one configured there, we could change this information by deleting it and later adding the new one.
This method is used by many people to be able transfer small amounts of money to a contact on Facebook, you should try to have all the security settings well configured in your personal account. If at a certain time someone hacks our Facebook account, we will immediately receive an email notification if we have configured it in this way in the profile.
