PayPal has announced its first customer service bot that will be at the users service handling their questions as well as request for assistance. Those users who have linked their PayPal account to their Facebook Messenger app can now send or request money and also split bills.

Facebook has announced that this service will be rolled out to the other countries in the weeks to come. Also, PayPal says that there are over 2.5 million users who have linked their PayPal accounts with the Messenger app. With the global roll-out of this ability to send or receive money using Facebook's chat app, this number is likely to grow further and many users will prefer using the same.

How it works?

The function is pretty simple. You just have to tap on the '+' icon in the Messenger app and tap on the green '$' symbol in the next menu. Over here, you need to enter the amount you like to send or receive and add a short note. Once you hit enter, the app will prompt you to connect your PayPal account or debit card. Here, you need to choose PayPal as the payment mode and proceed.
