Who Owns Venmo

Venmo is owned by PayPal, a global leader in digital payments^[6]. PayPal acquired Venmo in 2013 as part of its $800 million purchase of Braintree, which had previously acquired Venmo in 2012^{[1][2][4][5][7]}. Since then, Venmo has operated as a subsidiary under the PayPal corporate umbrella, maintaining its own brand and user base but benefiting from PayPal’s financial backing and infrastructure^[6][2].
