The company, which hasn't been able to figure out the UI hell of the core product for more than a decade now must never be trusted with processing payments. Especially when you know where the data will end up, what will happen to it next and how the company makes money (98.5% from targeted ads)
I'm confident the UI for their customers works great. Problem is you're not the customer.
This should have happened for a long time. Facebook's properties are the places where my friends naturally ask for money from me to help. Even with all the negativity I see here in other comments, this is the natural way for Facebook to grow, not trying to compete with the Federal Reserve.
Facebook had a multimillion dollar business (yes, million, not trillion, but this was solid) in the form of FB marketplace. That was the one part of FB that was super useful and if they hooked it up with a secure payment system that worked with these kinds of transactions it could have been amazing. Instead they squandered it on ads, as they always do. The platform is now unusable.

What do you mean by this?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
"We want to rebrand to Meta to help our image, but let's name the payment app that'll be used across all of Meta after the specific brand that's been the focus of all of that bad publicity."
Meta has no brand recognition though (outside our narrow geek circles). Google doesn't have an "Alphabet Pay" either.
How ironic is it that you need to move from a brand name to another because you have bad reputation, but still have to use the old name because even with bad reputation, it's still more trustable to handle money than your no-reputation new brand?
It's confusing since the page says "Facebook Pay is a seamless, secure way to pay on the apps you already use". And whatsapp is listed as one app.
Maybe it's entirely different from UPI based Whatsapp pay.
