According to the report, WhatsApp is readying the in-chat payment option and may officially roll out the feature sometime around December. Indian users are likely to get the feature at the same time, i.e December. "They are likely to do some sort of an extended beta program for the feature in November and by December you can expect a full rollout," notes a source aware of the plan.
Earlier reports claimed that WhatsApp is talking with financial institutions for its upcoming payment feature. However, the Facebook-owned messaging application hasn't revealed any details about this feature as of yet. So if at WhatsApp is working on this payment feature - there's no doubt that it is going to be a big threat for other players in the Indian digital payments ecosystem.
The new report reveals that WhatsApp payment feature is in its final stage and almost nearing announcement. WhatsApp employees are seemingly testing the feature. Reports are also such that WhatsAp may conduct some sort of extended beta program for the payment feature in November before the final roll out - which is to happen in December.
