Question: how are venmo and paypal connected?
Answer: In 2012, Venmo was bought by Braintree, and then in 2013 Braintree was acquired by PayPal - so Venmo is now a PayPal company. ... PayPal is encouraged to be used by businesses, and may charge a fee for transactions and transfers, but typically does not have as strict limits on transactions size as Venmo does.
