#WhatsApp launches #payments in app starting in Brazil. 2 billion+ users, it’s taking a more comprehensive commercial plunge, giving people a place to chat/send payment details, and now to actually transact. What does that mean for #fintech in #Africa?https://t.co/5Aje8d25Bc

Takeaways from FB’s WhatsApp payments:
✳️ the regulatory burden remains with the credit card networks
✳️ payments don’t need a blockchain...duh!
✳️ the solution doesn’t really address the remittance use case. Cross border settlements need Libra https://t.co/TIbwk1qMxm

Whatsapp launches payments in Brazil ???

A telling sign of what’s to come globally.

Albeit a different monetising method this time.... Another huge revenue stream for the Facebook family. #fintech #payments #Whatsapp #news https://t.co/n380O2QPbs

.@WhatsApp pay is just a test bed to implement #Libra.

Do you want to trust @Facebook with your money?

The biggest #surveillance in the world.

They already use and abuse your #data for financial profit, they will do the same to your #money. #cryptohttps://t.co/j0IWIYEB7a

Cielo, a JV between Visa & Brazilian banks, is both a payment processor & card issuer. This & UPI India integrations throw some light on OTT payment model, whereby they tend to go with banks - perhaps thinking of Fintechs as their rivals and not partners. https://t.co/dFEuCDDD4l
