Mastercard has finally released a version of their MoneySend application for BlackBerry devices. The application, is designed to make sending and receiving money from debit, credit, and prepaid Mastercard cards easier. It's not without it's minor flaws though. First, the application only works for the US. Secondly, your bank has to be on board for it to be supported. However, those issues aside it does offer some great features which could make it quite useful to some folks out there.
Features include:
- Accept credit or debit card payments from anyone for free.
- Send money to family members Sending fees apply.
- Pay for informal goods and services.
- Request money from people who owe you money.
- Simplify your business or non-profit collection effort using Request Funds feature
