According to Independent, Gmail users will be able to send and receive money through their emails.
The steps to send money to another user or friend through email are;
1. User will hover through a paperclip icon and it will show a £ icon.
2. Clicking on the icon will allow the user to type in the amount of money he/she wants to send to the other party.
3. Click send.
This process can be used to request for money. Also the good news about this “request” feature is that requests can be sent to anyone, whether they have a Gmail account or not.
To use this service, you will have to setup a Google Wallet account and link it to your credit card or debit card.
According to Independent, US citizens have been able to use this service and Gmail just launched this service in the UK. And it will be gradually rolled out to all UK Gmail users who are 18 years old and above.
This service will be coming to other countries soon.
