Venmo

Tips

✅ Always double-check the username before transferring!

Sometimes you may find the person you just paid didn't receive the payment as users can share the same or similar name, which means you paid the wrong person. To avoid this, always confirm that the user you're going to pay is exactly the one who stands in front of you. You can show him or her the page for their confirmation.

👻 Use "Venmo QR codes" to find the person and pay.

Venmo QR codes allow users to find, add, and pay without searching others' IDs. After scanning the QR code on Venmo, it takes users directly to their profiles, where to add them as friends, send, or request funds. You can scan others' QR codes and find yours by tapping the "Scan" button at the bottom of the screen.

😜 Split the bill with friends.

Venmo allows users to split the bill with many friends at once. Just set up the payment or request, and add all the recipients you want to split with. Now, you can skip the math and send or request the same amount easily after hanging out!

😉 No need to feel awkward asking your friends to pay the share. 

What if your roommate still hasn't paid his or her share of the rent this month? Venmo can help! It provides a handy "remind" feature that gently nudges your friends to pay you back. No need to feel awkward, as 67 percent of the users agree that it's appropriate to remind someone to pay within four days of the original transaction.
