What is Venmo?

To get started with Venmo, you'll need to download the app on your smartphone or tablet. Once you've created an account, you can connect your bank account or debit card to start sending and receiving payments.

One of the unique features of Venmo is its social component - users can add comments or emojis to their transactions, making it easy to split expenses with friends or pay back someone for dinner. You can also see your friends' public transactions on your feed if they have enabled this feature.

Another great thing about Venmo is that it's free to use when transferring funds from a linked bank account. However, there may be fees associated with using a credit card or requesting an instant transfer.
