\"\"<\/p>\n

Beem It quietly launched in both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store earlier this […] May.<\/p>\n

The app enables sending and receiving money, with an interface reminiscent of a social media app.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Comm Bank, Westpac & NAB (AKA the cry-babies that still wont implement Apple Pay) announced “Beem It” last October, a new platform that would enable users to pay one another with a new, modern user experience.<\/p>\n

The app makes use of Australia’s Eftpos and Visa’s debit card networks to allow the funds to be transferred from one party to another.<\/p>\n

Noticeably absent is Australia’s newly available New Payments Platform (NPP). A system that all banks in Australia now use and offers near-instantenous transactions. Beem It<\/em> CEO, Mark Wood has said that NPP may arrive in the future however.<\/p>\n

Australians will you Beem It<\/em>?<\/p>\n
