NEW: TikTok is considering a money-transfer feature through TikTok Pay, allowing users to send cash via DMs. The company stated the function isn’t under active testing, according to Bloomberg.
While no rollout timeline has been confirmed, the move signals TikTok’s growing ambitions in fintech—turning its platform into more than just a space for entertainment. By integrating payments into direct messages, TikTok could streamline peer-to-peer transactions, especially among creators and fans.
The idea aligns with broader trends of social apps evolving into financial hubs—think WeChat or Instagram. But with regulatory scrutiny high, TikTok will need to balance innovation with security.
