You can pay via Twittter in France now

NEW: TWITTER TO ROLL OUT ‘QUOTE TWEET’ OPTION

NEW: TWITTER TO ROLL OUT ‘QUOTE TWEET’ OPTION

Apple is barely staying one step ahead of the game these days.

One day after Apple’s new iPay service for its latest iPhone launched, French banking group BPCE announced this Tuesday that its new app, S-Money will  let people pay each other via Twitter for Free.

After downloading the app at the Apple or Google Play store, French credit card hoders with a phone number  linked to their card can begin  making payments to other individuals or organizations and companies that have downloaded the service.

Right now, users can only pay up to 250 euros (about $317) for individuals and 500 euros ($635) for charities during crowd-fundraising.

Earlier this year, Twitter teamed up with American Express to let Amex card holders pay using a specific hashtag.

It’s all interesting, no?
