text: Venmo Vimeo – Payment Options Central
  You will need to download the app on your smartphone and link it with your bank account in order to use the service. You act as a virtual fiscal intermediary between two individuals. For example, Sally offers to sell her bracelet to Mary for $50. Mary sends the funds through Venmo to Sally. Sally's account balance increases by $50, and the transaction is complete. Assume that Sally agrees to accept the payment and will accept the payment.
  You may also want to make sure your account is secured. If you receive a payment via Venmo, you should set your password to be secure. Doing so will prevent scammers from accessing your account and stealing your money. A good password protects your identity and protects your finances. If your PIN is not working, you should regularly check your credit card balance and change it. If your bank refuses to change your PIN, you can set it to private mode.
