Amazon will allow customers to pay for their purchases using Venmo.

Venmo, which is owned by PayPal, will be available to selected Amazon customers from today. It will roll out to all US customers by Black Friday.

He added: “The ability to pay with Venmo on Amazon continues our ongoing commitment to offer the community more ways to spend, send, receive, and manage their money with Venmo.”
