Facebook confirmed that it is testing a new Venmo-like QR code for person-to-person payments in the US, media reports said on Tuesday.
However, analysts are mostly pessimistic about Facebook s mobile payment trial, as it is a latecomer in the US market, and the US market lacks sufficient mobile connections.
The new feature of Facebook Pay allows users to scan a friend s QR code using their smartphone s camera to send or request payments, while the function Shared Payment Links allows users to send payment addresses outside Facebook.
