Venmo is a mobile payment platform that allows users to send and receive money using their mobile devices. The app is available on Apple and Android devices, and it’s free to download.
The Venmo app allows users to link their bank accounts, credit cards, or debit cards so they can pay friends back for dinner or other purchases with a swipe of their finger instead of cash or checks. It’s also possible to use Venmo as an alternative payment method for online purchases, though this feature is currently limited to select businesses.
Venmo charges no fees for sending money from one person to another within the app; however, there are fees associated with sending money from a bank account or credit card linked through Venmo.
