But don't worry! Today we're going to help you navigate moving your money from PayPal to Venmo, step by step.
Thankfully, the most efficient way to transfer your money between these services isn't too complicated, and can be done instantaneously, if needed.
All you need is a bank account;
Now we'll go over each of these steps in detail!
First, we'll link your preferred checking account to your PayPal, if you haven't done so already. If you have, head on down to Step 2!
Once your bank account is linked, you can transfer your money from PayPal to your linked bank.
You can choose the instant transfer for a small fee, or choose the free standard transfer that takes 1-3 business days to complete.
If you haven't already, download the Venmo app and create an account.
Again, depending on the transfer speed chosen, your money could take up to 3 business days to process.
If you're new to Venmo, you'll notice there's a section of the app where people in your social networks have their recent transactions listed. By default, your transactions also show up in this feed.
Because this is the case, it's important to not share personal or sensitive information in your Venmo payment descriptions, especially details like addresses or account numbers could compromise your security.
Always review your payment settings and transaction privacy options to control who can see your payment activity.
