How Venmo Makes Money

Venmo has revolutionized the way pay each other back. From sending roommates the rent check to reimbursing friends for dinner, people ‘Venmo’ each other all the time. But have you ever wondered how this fun, emoji laden payments app actually makes money? Well, for years, it hasn’t. But now Venmo is on the cusp of profitability for its parent company, Paypal.
Concerns remain about privacy for users and security for their money. And many on Wall Street are still waiting to see whether this millennial digital payments phenomenon is just flash in the pan or if it’s really here to stay. Bill Ready, Paypal's COO and the man who brought the once no name app to mainstream fame invited CNBC to Venmo's New York offices to get a look inside how the payment app works.
NOTE: On April 24, 2019 (a day after this video was published), PayPal revealed for the first time that Venmo has 40 million users. In the video above, CNBC cited eMarketer, which had estimated 27.4 million Venmo users as of April 2018..
In its first-quarter 2019 earnings report, PayPal said it now has a total 277 million total customer accounts - including 22 million merchant accounts. Total payments volume for Venmo grew 73 percent year over year to $21 billion in the first quarter, the company said. The company said Venmo is still on pace to do $100 billion in payment volume this year.

    Your summary is pretty bad. Is Venmo making money right now? It isn't. Is Venmo going to make money in the future? It may. Many tech companies is doing business or going IPO with a lost. This is typical. They are not going to make money now because of the high initial investment cost and they accepted losses to expand their market reach. Once they are big enough (like Facebook or Google) and hold large enough market shares, they can start making profits by economies of scale, start charging small fee on transactions or charging banks a small percentage to get access to that money for investment. For example, if your operating cost is 300 millions and you are generating $10 each per person with consumer base of 20 millions, you will be making a loss. If your base continue to growth and your cost remain the same, you are making huge profits the next year. Lyft is making loss the same way. Same for Facebook when 1st first started and called itself free social network. Same for Uber. Every cent that you leave in your venmo account is a cent that a bank can lend out without paying you a damn shilling of interest rate. You are giving them money to do business for free.

    "Receiving" the money is instant, and if you plan to use that same money to pay others/buy other things through venmo, then there are no delays. However, if you want to transfer the money to your bank account, then you will have to go through the standard ACH transfer process which usually takes one business day, unless you specifically ask for an instant transfer and are willing to pay venmo's fee.

But I do get charged a small amount for the transfer. I'm surprised that in the US you have to wait one day.
