WhatsApp‘s newly launched payment service in Brazil is under threat. On Tuesday, The country’s central bank ordered Visa and Mastercard to shut down the project with the Facebook-owned chat app, citing concerns over its anti-competitive nature.

Brazil was the second country after India to get WhatsApp‘s payments feature when it launched on June 15. But now, its future is uncertain.
