Introduction
Venmo is a service that allows you to pay and request money from friends, family, and other contacts. You can use Venmo to pay for goods and services or to split the cost of a bill, such as a dinner check. You can also use Venmo to pay your rent or other bills.
If you’re a business owner, you can use Venmo to accept payments from customers and clients. To do this, you’ll need to create a Venmo Business Account. This account type is different from a personal Venmo account, and it offers additional features and benefits that are tailored for businesses.
