Igor Evsukov Black & White Photestore LLC. has launched the new PayPal Pro app, which is, in fact, the updated version of the earlier-released iPhone software application. The new app boasts a few brand-new features that will allow users to have a complete control over their payments and transactions.

PayPal, as its name implies, is the iPhone user’s pal in: - dealing with lots of transactions; - offering a fast and easy way to make payments; - paying or receiving payments from abroad; - addressing professional buyers and sellers directly.

The new stuff this version has been enriched with consists of a brand-new look and feel, and the “Bump to Send Money” - involving a simple, natural gesture and the possibility to withdraw funds from the user’s PayPal balance. PayPay is available in several of the most important languages, namely in English, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.

The features are easy to use and quite intuitive and, with the new “Bump to Send Money” characteristic, the app was the billionth one downloaded from the App Store back in April 2009, 9to5Mac relates. This new piece of software invite users to simply enter their payment information and just bump in order to pay, like a “chin-chin!” natural gesture.

“PayPal’s mobile money application is the faster way to send money with your iPhone to friends and family anytime, anywhere. It’s much easier than going to the ATM to withdraw cash, writing checks, and sending gifts the traditional way. And you can manage your PayPal account right from your mobile device,” Apple notes on its website.

The app also has a smart, funny commercial, made in Apple’s sarcastic and smart style, which you can find at the bottom of this article.

The app’s current version is 2.0, it weighs in at 3.1MB, it is fully compatible with the iPhone and iPod touch (2nd generation) and its system requirement is the iPhone OS 3.0 or later.
