Venmo
Venmo is the dominant US peer-to-peer payment app, ideal for splitting bills and casual transfers with its signature social feed.

Zalety
- Free standard P2P transfers within the US
- Social feed makes splitting & requesting easy
- Free Venmo debit card, no-fee MoneyPass ATMs
Wady
- US-only; no international use
- Instant transfers cost 1.75%
- 3% fee when funding with a credit card
OFX
OFX is an international money-transfer specialist for bank-to-bank transfers. It charges no transfer fee in the UK, Ireland and the US (AU$15 under AU$10,000 in Australia) and earns a margin on the exchange rate that depends on the currency and amount. There is no personal multi-currency account or card, and minimum transfers apply (GBP 100 in the UK, US$150 in the US).
Zalety
- No OFX transfer fee in the UK, Ireland and US
- 24/7 support (stated on the OFX UK site)
- Margin depends on currency and amount, suits larger transfers
Wady
- Minimum transfer (GBP 100 UK, US$150 US, AU$250 AU)
- No personal multi-currency account or card
- Not instant — bank delivery times
Podsumowanie
Ogólnie Venmo wysuwa się na prowadzenie z wynikiem 4.1 wobec 4.0 — ale właściwy wybór zależy od Twoich priorytetów. Przed decyzją sprawdź oba pod kątem swojego kraju i zastosowania.
