Venmo started in a college dorm room… and grew so powerful it forced the biggest banks on Earth to respond. For decades, sending money meant expensive wires, slow transfers, and total control by a $7 trillion banking industry. Then Venmo made instant transfers feel free, simple, and social—putting real pressure on traditional finance.
