BBM and PayPal have teamed up to make sending and receiving money through your BBM Chats even easier. Just connect your PayPal account to your BBM. Once your BBM contacts do the same, you can start sending and receiving money – it’s that simple.

Starting today, the external beta will be available for BlackBerry, iOS and Android BBM users in Canada, and will roll out to other regions around the globe in the coming weeks.

How PayPal on BBM works?

It’s really simple:
Select the PayPal “Send Money” icon in BBM
Connect your PayPal account
You can start sending money to family and friends once they’ve also connected their PayPal accounts to BBM
From there, you’ll simply select the PayPal icon directly in BBM, enter in the amount of money, review the details, and hit send – that’s all it takes!

Do you need to have the PayPal app on your device to transfer money through BBM?

No, you do not have to have the PayPal app on your device to send money as the transfer happens through BBM

Why would someone use PayPal to send money through BBM?

Whether you’re paying a roommate back for rent or splitting dinner with friends, buying a group gift or sending your kid some spending money, sending money with PayPal through BBM is easy because it’s where your conversation is already happening. People don’t have to leave BBM to send a photo or file. So, why should they have to with money? – Pay and get paid in the moment, right in your BBM conversations, using your mobile device.

This beta is currently only available to select BBM users in Canada. What are the plans for other regions? Will it be available globally?

Yes, it will be. We are rolling out the beta experience starting with select users in Canada, with more countries to follow shortly. Stay tuned for details on the roll out.
