Facebook users would now download FB Messenger due to its new payment features. Recent reports state that Facebook is currently working on developing a new mobile payment system to help you transfer money through its Messenger app.
Andrew Aude, a student developer at Stanford, leaked out images of the mobile payment system codes on Twitter. The mobile payment system codes were hacked using the iOS and Mac OS X hacking tool Cycript.

FB Messenger will allow you to attach money just like photos and send it to your friend list. Users will be able to add their debit card details to the FB Messenger app, which will be followed by an in-app PIN for security purposes. Unfortunately the developing system only supports debit cards and not credit cards, for now. Reports also claim that the mobile payment code will initially allow one-to-one transactions.
