Coinbase Introduces Free Instant Money Transfer Service
Popular cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is rolling out a novel service enabling customers to transfer funds seamlessly across various communication channels, free of charge.
The platform allows users to transmit money wherever a link can be shared, spanning messaging apps such as WhatsApp, iMessage, and Telegram, as well as social media platforms like Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram. Even email can serve as a conduit for these transactions, as per the company’s recent blog announcement.
Notably, this service isn’t confined by geographical borders, facilitating instantaneous and fee-less transfers between individuals situated in different countries.
For both the sender and receiver to engage in this exchange, possession of the Coinbase Wallet is a prerequisite. If the recipient lacks the digital wallet, they’ll be prompted to download it from either the Apple or Android app stores upon receiving the link, ensuring accessibility to the transferred funds. Unclaimed funds after two weeks will be automatically refunded to the sender.
Coinbase Wallet is accessible in over 170 countries, underscoring its global reach and availability.
