WhatsApp Novi integration payment is now officially available in pilot program in US

Earlier, WhatsApp has been working on Novi Wallet Integration for payments. And now, WhatsApp has officially launched a pilot program in the US, giving some users access to Novi integration.

In a recent tweet, Novi head Stephen Cazarial announced that a limited number of WhatsApp users in the US will be able to send and receive money using Novi from today (via-XDA). For those unfamiliar, Novi is a digital wallet from WhatsApp’s parent company that uses digital currencies to facilitate international money transfers.

This service is currently available in the US and Guatemala to send and receive money using the Pax Dollar (USDP), a fixed cryptocurrency supported by the US Dollar. However, WhatsApp integration is not currently available in Guatemala.

Kasriel explained that WhatsApp users who have access to Novi Integration during the pilot run can send and receive money directly from the chat screen at no charge. All payments made through Novi are directly reflected in the chats of individuals.

If you are one who got access during the pilot run, you can start the payment by following these steps:

• Open a chat with the contact you want to send money to.
• Tap on the attachment icon.
• Select the “Payment” option in the pop-up menu.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to log in to your Novi account or create a new account.
• Send/receive money on the following screen.
