Venmo and PayPal — two of the most popular apps for digitally sending money to friends, family, or businesses — have never been natively compatible.
“Venmo users and PayPal users will be able to pay each other in the U.S. and worldwide,” Venmo wrote in an email to customers.
This has long been a pain point for users, especially since Venmo is owned by PayPal, leading users to believe this kind of feature would already exist.
This change means that PayPal users will now be able to find Venmo users by inputting their phone numbers, and later, their email addresses.
Combined, Venmo and PayPal have 2 billion global users, according to PayPal.
