Venmo<\/a>\u00a0says its peer-to-peer payment tool is going global thanks to parent company\u00a0PayPal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough\u00a0new connectivity\u00a0with PayPal, Venmo users can now send and receive money with hundreds of millions of PayPal users across 90 markets, marking the largest expansion of Venmo\u2019s addressable market since the app\u2019s launch,\u201d the company said in a Monday (March 23) news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the release, this means Venmo users can now access one of the world\u2019s largest\u00a0peer-to-peer<\/a>\u00a0(P2P) payment networks. The company says this addresses a common frustration with these payments: \u201capp fragmentation\u201d has made sending money between friends and loved ones needlessly complicated.<\/p>\n

\u201cVenmo and PayPal have each become a trusted part of how people send and receive money \u2013 Venmo as the way friends split, share, and connect over everyday spending, and PayPal pioneering the global standard for cross-border money movement,\u201d said\u00a0Diego Scotti<\/a>, general manager of PayPal\u2019s consumer group.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy bringing these two ecosystems together, we\u2019re making it seamless for Venmo and PayPal users to pay one another without friction or borders. It\u2019s about meeting people where they are and delivering simple, secure ways to move money in the moments that matter most, no matter what your preferred app is.\u201d<\/p>\n

The release adds that the expansion lets consumers move money between friends and family domestically and internationally with just a phone number, and no complex account details or routing numbers needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Gen Z, who are nearly twice as likely as the average American to send money internationally every month, this means the app they already rely on to split the dinner bill now works just as seamlessly for paying someone halfway around the world,\u201d Venmo added.<\/p>\n

Research by PYMNTS Intelligence has found that P2P payments using a\u00a0digital wallet<\/a>\u00a0are described as the norm in countries like the U.S. (70%), Germany (73%) and Japan (67%).<\/p>\n

However, despite the\u00a0strength in P2P<\/a>, the U.S. is behind many other countries in adopting mobile payments for in-store transactions, with just 17% of consumers saying they had used this method for their last point of sale purchase.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe report suggests that the U.S. may be held back in in-store mobile adoption by factors such as outdated payment terminals, slower technological adoption rates and consumers\u2019 continued strong ties to traditional card-based and cash methods,\u201d PYMNTS wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile mobile payments\u00a0represent 20%<\/a>\u00a0of in-store transactions globally as the fastest-growing method, the U.S. figure of 17% (or 17.4% based on percentage change data) indicates room for significant growth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Venmo\u00a0says its peer-to-peer payment tool is going global thanks to parent company\u00a0PayPal. \u201cThrough\u00a0new connectivity\u00a0with PayPal, Venmo users can…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":542839,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[3105,165,3,52891,25739,3300,74,30047,3301],"class_list":["post-542838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-digital-transformation","tag-mobile","tag-news","tag-p2p-payments","tag-paypal","tag-pymnts-news","tag-technology","tag-venmo","tag-whats-hot"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=542838"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542838\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/542839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=542838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=542838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
