How to Avoid Unnecessary Venmo Fees
To minimize costs:
- Use free funding sources: Link a bank account or Venmo balance instead of credit cards.
- Opt for standard transfers: Wait 1 - 3 days to avoid instant transfer fees.
- Mark transactions correctly: Personal payments between friends should not use the "Goods & Services" option.
