What is Venmo for?
Venmo allows you to pay and request money from your friends. At its core, Venmo provides a social way to pay your friends when you owe them money and don't want to deal with cash. For example:
- Splitting a lunch bill
- Paying your friend half of a cab fare
- Sending your roommate your half of the rent
I am not a Venmo user and I’m seeing an unauthorized charge on my bank or card statement.
