Therefore, users will be offered a new 'Scan' button in their Facebook Pay carousel. By pressing it, users are enabled to scan a QR code for a friend or family member, select the amount, and transfer the money. Additionally, Facebook Pay is also introducing personalised payment links that automatically direct others to a secure page to transfer money to the user's account.
However, according to sources, the QR code feature of Facebook Pay is still in testing for users in the US and has yet to be officially launched, MacRumors reported.
