Your Venmo funds are now useful for far more than just paying for your part of the pizza from last night. As promised last year, Amazon is now allowing customers to pay using their related debit card, linked bank account, or Venmo balance. The purchase security offered by Venmo, in addition to Amazon’s own protections, is still valid if you choose to make it the default method of payment.

Some Amazon customers can now use the Venmo option. According to the corporation, it should be widely accessible in the US by Black Friday (the day following Thanksgiving). The option can be added using the Amazon website or mobile app. The assistance is not unexpected. As of this writing, there are around 90 million users of Venmo. The new payment option might persuade that sizable audience to use Venmo more frequently overall, particularly while shopping. This gives Amazon access to customers who don’t often use traditional payment methods.

Additionally, as PayPal increasingly uses Venmo as a catch-all platform, Amazon is making this move. Venmo lets you manage your bitcoin, pay for Lyft rides, and even cash checks. You may now do the majority of your shopping online. At this point, Venmo is still not a complete alternative for traditional banking, but it is getting closer.
