  • How to transfer money via Twitter?


    Heard about the new service offered by Twitter for transfer of money? Know more about this service & whether it is available in India.

    Recently I have read about the new money transfer facility offered by Twitter from a fellow blogger from abroad. I want to know about the procedure of money transfer via Twitter.

    Also, Please confirm which countries have started this service? When can we expect to have Twitter money transfer service in India?

  • The service to transfer money via twitter has been introduced by a French Bank, Groupe BPCE. It can be availed only by the persons having French account and cellphone number.
    To send money, you will need to link your individual twitter account with the money transfer service of the bank. Once done, you can post on twitter with money services user name, twitter handle of the person to whom you plan to send money and the amount to be transferred along with the hashtag "envoyer" ( which means SEND on French).
    Users can transfer up to $635 with this service. However, the Twitter money transfer service is yet to flourish elsewhere. We heard about this French initiative in in Oct 2014. There is no information available on the actual commencement of the service.
