Facebook Launches Payments Login Service

U.S. social media giant Facebook officially launched Autofill With Facebook, its service that allows you to store your address and credit card information on Facebook for use in mobile app transactions, All Things D reported on September 23.

Users of the service will now see a small drop-down prompt when at a mobile app checkout. After hitting the autofill button, the app then draws payment information from your Facebook-connected account to complete the purchase.

JackThreads and Mosaic participated in the pilot program announced earlier this year. For more on how the move positions Facebook in the mobile payments space, click here.
