SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PayPal today unveiled a new Send Money application for iPhone. Version 2.0 of the PayPal Send Money app gives PayPal and iPhone customers around the world secure mobile access to their money and convenient features for everyday life, including Bump money transfers, Split Check and Collect Money.





“PayPal Send Money lets consumers access their wallets through their phones. Because with PayPal, the wallet lives in the cloud – the mobile phone is just one device customers can use to access it.”



With “bump” users can put two iPhones together, and funds are quickly transferred between their PayPal accounts. The Split Check feature lets users conveniently divide and quickly reimburse each other for the cost of a meal, including tip and tax, for up to 20 people. Collect Money allows users to request money from multiple people for a joint gift, team dues, concert tickets, and more. Users can send gifts of money on the spot for birthdays, anniversaries or any moment of impulsive generosity.



The new Send Money app comes at a time when smartphone sales have surpassed 172.4 million units in 2009*, and consumers worldwide are expected to spend $119 billion** by 2015 through their mobile phones. PayPal mobile transactions have increased nearly six-fold, from $25 million in 2008 to $141 million in 2009.



“Today, you leave the house with three critical things: your phone, your wallet and your keys,” said Osama Bedier, PayPal’s vice president of platform and emerging technology. “PayPal Send Money lets consumers access their wallets through their phones. Because with PayPal, the wallet lives in the cloud – the mobile phone is just one device customers can use to access it.”



With the new PayPal Send Money app, users can set reminders for recurring payments, donate money to their favorite causes, and manage their PayPal accounts — all from the iPhone. For international transactions, it also features a global currency calculator and 15 languages. PayPal Send Money requires a PIN or password for every transaction to help prevent unauthorized use.



The application is now available to download for free at the Apple iTunes store online or the Apple App Store from any iPhone or iPod Touch.

MoBeePay(TM) Officially Announces a Revolutionary Mobile eCommerce Application

CHICAGO, March 15 /PRNewswire/ -- The MoBeePay iPhone application (other versions coming soon) allows buyers and sellers to connect and transact business in seconds without having to go through a time-consuming, risky payment process. Unlike PayPal, MoBeePay removes the need for a web based store and moves the transaction anywhere a merchant or consumer desires whether in the digital or the physical world.



Sellers register their products with MoBeePay and receive MoBeeTags (data matricies) and or MoBeeCodes (product codes) from MoBeePay, which are stored in the MoBeeHive (cloud). Buyers merely point their iPhone camera at the MoBeeTag in a magazine, on a billboard, or any print ad. Once the MoBeeTag is captured by the app the data is securely sent to the MoBeeHive. The MoBeeTag is compared, verified, and then the purchase is completed instantly if the user has signed in to their MoBeePay account.



If a user has not signed in they will be prompted to either sign in or sign up for an account directly in the MoBeePay app. The seller is notified of a successful purchase and the merchandise is shipped directly to the consumer from the manufacturer or retailer to the address on file, or in the physical world, handed to the buyer. Buyers who are unable to capture an accurate image are also able to enter a MoBeeCode as an alternative. This MoBeeCode or MoBeeTag can also be sent via SMS or MMS to the MoBeeHive if the user does not have an app compatible phone.



Like Square™ or VeriFone's PAYware™, MoBeePay will soon be offering a MoBeeMerchant application with hardware (MoBeeSwipe) that will enable mobile merchants or small retailers to accept credit and debit purchases at card present rates by plugging the MoBeeSwipe into an earjack.



Utilizing the same MoBeeTags with MoBeeMerchant, merchants can avoid the need for costly POS systems while still enjoying the benefits of an electronic transaction and inventory management system at competitive merchant discount rates.



MoBeePay was developed by Kent Mages and Kenneth Mages and has multiple patents pending. All MoBee terms herein are trademarked.
