Trademark Applications for Meta Pay<\/h2>\n

Meta Platforms Inc., formerly Facebook, filed five trademark applications for \u201cMeta Pay\u201d with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) last week.<\/p>\n

Trademark attorney Josh Gerben tweeted explaining Wednesday that, in his opinion, Meta\u2019s applications indicate the company is planning to launch a payment platform called Meta Pay for users to exchange regular fiat money for cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Meta\u2019s head of fintech, Stephane Kasriel, explained last week that the company is \u201cinvesting more\u201d in its existing payments experiences, noting that it has been in payments since 2009.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, people and businesses use our platforms to make payments in 160 countries and 55 currencies,\u201d Kasriel wrote, elaborating:<\/p>\n

\n

The experience that people see today is Facebook Pay, but we\u2019ll be bringing that closer to the Meta brand soon by renaming it Meta Pay.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In March, Meta filed eight trademark applications<\/a> for its logo covering the metaverse as well as a wide range of cryptocurrency services.<\/p>\n
