Digital wallet app that allows users to transfer money to each other.

What creators think

Matt Howe recommends Venmo as a way to secure deals with a deposit, noting that platforms like Venmo and PayPal give buyers and sellers a reliable way to lock in a transaction. Beyond that, other creators reference Venmo mostly in passing — as a familiar shorthand for peer-to-peer payments rather than a deliberate tool recommendation. TheStradman flags a practical tax headache: money received through Venmo can be counted as revenue by the IRS unless you can document what it was actually for.
