MasterCard Releases Person-To-Person Payment App MoneySend for BlackBerry
(Read Write Web) — You can’t pay with your phone at the register yet, but you can use it to pay the babysitter. MoneySend, an application from MasterCard for sending and requesting money in informal person-to-person transactions, is now out in the BlackBerry App World. MasterCard’s app lags significantly behind PayPal’s mobile payment app, available for Android, iPhone and BlackBerry, except perhaps that MasterCard has more cache and credibility with older generations. But MoneySend’s shortcomings aside, MasterCard is clearly excited about mobile-enhanced shopping.
