Siri can now take voice commands for seamless PayPal transactions in 30 countries
Can you believe it’s taken this long for probably the world’s largest Internet payment platform to meet up with arguably the most popular intelligent personal assistant, and enable very simple voice commands for quickly sending and receiving e-money?
Well, it’s good to see Siri support officially offered to PayPal customers, and better late than never, right? Besides, Apple will still hold bragging rights over rival AI services like Amazon’s Alexa, Microsoft’s Cortana or the newly released Google Assistant, none of which allows users of Android, Windows or Echo devices to magically make payments by uttering a few words.
“Hey Siri, send Bill $50 using PayPal.” That’s all you need to say starting today, November 10, after you download the free iOS app on iPhones and iPads running the latest platform build. Of course, it doesn’t have to be $50, and Bill isn’t the only one that could use a little financial relief for the painful recent election loss.
You can even ask for some holiday dough via voice (in case you weren’t already ashamed of still living off your parents), and Siri will take PayPal directives in no less than 30 countries and a variety of languages, including Australia, Canada (English and French), China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Thailand, UK, and United Arab Emirates (Arabic).

PayPal.Me is a new solution for easy transactions between friends
Square’s approach to helping buddies send money to each other is kind of smart, so much so that it has driven some envy in the industry. PayPay was really one of the pioneers of the whole concept, but over the years the service has turned into more of a bank than anything else. It only makes sense for the company to look for a simplified way to return to its roots, and today we see how.The company has just announced a new service called PayPal.Me, that intends to simplify monetary transactions between friends. The concept is rather interesting though, where you can create a personal URL ...

More US carrier GS5 shenanigans: Verizon blocks fingerprint for PayPal
Should we even be surprised at this point? Time and time again, smartphones roll off the assembly line with all these cool features baked-in, and then carriers go and get uppity about them for one reason or another, and leverage the largely undeserved power they hold over OEMs to force the deactivation of specific abilities. It’s a struggle we’ve been following for years, seeing casualties like NFC payments or
