Credit Card Purchase 

As we’ve seen, you can send money, receive money, and make standard payments using Venmo at no cost. However, that changes when you use a credit card rather than your debit card or checking account. In these scenarios, you’d pay a 3% processing fee on the transaction.

Venmo offers people a quick, easy way to pay for products and services. But did you know that the vendor (i.e., the business you’re buying from) has to pay a fee to process each purchase?
