The app lets Facebook users request money from friends. The friends can then pay through the familiar POLi process completely embedded within Facebook. Both the payer and recipient receive a notification when payment is made ensuring there are no disagreements or foggy memories.

Initial marketing of the app will be aimed at Facebook users with upcoming birthdays – now they can try and monetise their friends list! Unlike other peer to peer products on the market this is the first that is completely bank independent, allows users to request money and facilitates payments from internet banking rather than credit cards. Best of all this is another free consumer service from POLi.

This is the first in a series of Facebook Apps to be released by POLi, we are currently working hard on a solution that will allow charities to efficiently collect donations via their Facebook pages. Centricom Pty Ltd ABN 73 105 393 664 Level 1, 600 Chapel Street, South Yarra, Melbourne 3141.
