I used Venmo for the first time

My granddaughter's birthday is coming up. She will be 23 so she is very familiar with the new technology. I wanted to send her money through the mail but gone are the days when you get a card through the mail with a crisp bill in it. I decided I would get with the times and use Venmo. I don't like some of these new ways of doing things but i did it. I pay my bills online but somehow sending money through and app makes me concerned. I'm old school I guess.

Re: I used Venmo for the first time

I was asked to use venmo too, at my nail salon--had to come home and google it. My DD uses it all the time too. Not sure what it is exactly so will research further.

I love using Venmo.  I paid my dog trainer that way and also pay my pet sitter.  I have repaid friends for certain things with Venmo.  It's very convenient.

No one uses PayPal anymore?


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I have kids that are 22 and 26 and they use this all the time.  I got an account a while ago so they could send me the money they owe on their cell bill.  It is very easy to use.

Re: I used Venmo for the first time

I signed up for it a few months ago and love it!  I pay my hairdresser, nail salon and even my interior decorator who reupholstered my chairs.  It is so convenient when paying someone.

My hairdresser uses Zelle and I love it. We pay the landscaper through Zelle. I use Paypay and CashApp also.

 

Sending money to someone who prefers Money Gram, I do that from my Computer that way I don´t have to leave the house, and it´s not expensive.

I still use Paypal. I also.  Can´t get away from Paypal after all these years. I thought that Venmo was a part of Paypal.
