In yet another dilution of traditional banking services you can now use Skype to send money.

Skype is integrating with PayPal to enable users to send money to their contacts while chatting over iOS and Android mobile devices.

With over one billion Skype mobile downloads to date globally, users will be able to use PayPal directly from their Skype app to beam cash instantly.

Asia - Not Yet

However the service is only being rolled out in some European countries Australia, Canada and the U.S., no date has been set for the Asian service yet.

The move extends PayPal's in-app reach for peer-to-peer payments across a multitude of popular messaging channels, such as a voice command with Siri, in chat with iMessage and Slack, and in email via Microsoft’s Outlook.
