Amazon.com Inc. said Tuesday that it is adding Venmo as a new
payment option for its customers ahead of Black Friday and the
holiday season.
The e-commerce company said the partnership with the payments
app owned by PayPal Holdings Inc. would allow users to use this
option while they check out for orders placed on Amazon.com and
Amazon's mobile app.
Venmo, with a community of over 90 million users, is known for
being a safe and easy to use payment option, Amazon said.
"Venmo will start to rollout to select Amazon customers today,
and it will be available to U.S. customers by Black Friday," Amazon
said of the last Friday of November, one of the busiest shopping
days for the company.
This year, Black Friday is Nov. 25.
