PayPal has unveiled a <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/category\/facebook\">Facebook <\/a>app that lets you send money to friends.<\/p>\n<p>The app, simply titled <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.facebook.com\/paypal_sendmoney\">Send Money<\/a>, is just as straightforward as its name. You have the choice to send either an ecard with money or just money with no card. You select a card, choose a friend to send it to and then select how much money to send.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe PayPal and Facebook infrastructure have now merged,\u201d PayPal\u2019s Anuj Nayar says. \u201cThis is another way to personalize the act of giving money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While there are several ways to pay with PayPal via Facebook, <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2011\/11\/17\/paypal-facebook-send-money\/\">Mashable<\/a> reports, this is the first app to enable peer-to-peer payments via Facebook and PayPal. And because it\u2019s a peer-to-peer transaction, there is no transaction fee, though PayPal\u2019s regular limits and international fees still apply.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSending money, person to person, is free,\u201d PayPal Senior Product Marketing Manager JB Coutinho said. \u201cIf it\u2019s funded by a PayPal balance or linked to a bank account, it\u2019s free.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And while the primary aspect of the Send Money app is its enablement of transactions across the world\u2019s largest social network, the ecard aspect is being emphasized as well. PayPal was quick to point out that more than 500 million ecards are sent every year, and that\u2019s why PayPal is offering dozens of choices for everything from birthdays to congratulations.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The app, simply titled Send Money, is just as straightforward as its name.
