I've had PayPal for years, but fees and other issues have made them less desirable as of late.

Doing a google search brings up a bunch of options, but what actually works and is most common? Venmo?

I'm not a business, just a guy offloading a bunch of stuff online.

Asking here to hopefully get some firsthand feedback rather than 'just' what google brings up.

Thanks!
 
Venmo is owned by PayPal.

And it says it right on their page too.
 
As an 'instant", no/low fee (for either side of certain transactions) I use Venmo. I did NOT seek it out .. others people I do business with wanted to use it so I did.

Money goes directly from your bank account to the other persons account (or from a credit card for a fee), they use multi-level verification, mobile app, etc. I tend to use it with people I know/done business with before/regularly, and for amounts under a grand.

I also use Zelle for interbank stuff .. its like a "bank-to-bank" transfer and can flow instantly (in seconds) like/even faster tha a wire but without the transaction cost to the sende/receiver.

ALL of these services have "fine print" to look at before you use them. And anything that move money via an app/mobile device, security measures THEY use, and that YOU have on your device, are very important to protect against hacking, etc.
