The two companies partnered last year to enable customers to link their accounts and use PayPal to shop on Messenger. The new agreement expands the partnership into peer-to-peer payments.
Additionally, PayPal customers can now use a customer service chat bot in Messenger allowing them to reset passwords, handle account inquiries and helping with payment issues in the app.
At the moment, the peer-to-peer payments system is only available in the US, where PayPal has over 2.5 million accounts that are already linked to Facebook.
