Official reports also state that the company is close to obtaining approval from the Central Bank of Ireland to start a service that would allow users to store money on Facebook and use it to pay and exchange with others.
The company has also had partnership talks with at least three London start-ups -TransferWise, Moni Technologies and Azimo, that offer online and mobile international money transfer services.
