Popular mobile messaging platform Line is officially rolling out a new Line Pay service around the world next week. First unveiled back in October, Line Pay will let users connect their accounts with a credit card to make digital payments anywhere, directly from their phones. Initially, however, the service will be restricted to a handful of affiliated services and shops, such as Line’s own online store. Over time, the plan is for Line Pay to become increasingly embedded as an accepted method of payment in both online and offline stores.
