Venmo assesses a charge for instant transfer depending on a percentage of the amount you are transferring. As of now, the charge is 1. 75% of the amount that is being transferred with a minimum of $0. 25 and a maximum of $25 per each transaction. Instant transfers normally get credited within minutes, so they are great when you are in a hurry for cash. On the other hand, if you go for the standard transfer option, it is entirely free but the money will be with you after 1-3 working days approximately. Being aware of what this difference is will enable you to make a decision as to whether the extra cost of speed is worth it for you.
