How to send and receive money on BBM using PayPal

BBM and PayPal has teamed up to bring this amazing feature to mobile devices. A new and comfortable way to pay and receive money with ease using Paypal on BBM. A major drawback to this is the availability in just a few regions for now.
 This feature is Available on iOS, Android and BlackBerry 10.


To get started, click on the PayPal “Send Money” icon in the attachment menu. The first time you use this feature, you will be prompted to link your PayPal account with your BBM account.

The on-screen instructions will tell you exactly what to do, and future transfers will not require authentication. If at any point you change your mind about allowing transfers, just log into PayPal and change your security settings.

If the contact you’ve selected to receive funds hasn’t linked their PayPal account with their BBM account, BBM will send a prompt asking them to do so.

Once the contact you’re chatting with has linked their PayPal account with BBM, you can enter the amount, review the details, add a message and hit send. This recipient will get a confirmation with your message, the transfer amount and a prompt to check their PayPal account for details.

Supported countries for now include: Canada, United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and South Africa.
