Venmo is a mobile app that lets you send money to friends and family through your phone instead of using cash or checks. You link your bank account or debit card to Venmo, and then you can transfer money to other people who also use the app. It's designed for everyday situations—splitting a dinner bill, paying back a roommate, or sending money to a relative—and the money usually arrives within a few minutes.

These articles explain how to set up your Venmo account, how to send and receive money safely, what fees you might encounter, and what to do if something goes wrong with a payment. You'll also learn about privacy settings, how to keep your account find, and when Venmo works well versus when other payment methods might be better.
