How to Buy Gold & Silver With PayPal or Venmo

Buying gold and silver online has never been easier than it is today. The popularity of online shopping has given rise to online payment platforms like PayPal and Venmo to simplify the payment process when buying online.

Platforms like PayPal and Venmo enable consumers to pay one another or pay businesses for goods and services simply, conveniently, and securely. The mobile peer-to-peer (P2P) market is expected to continue growing exponentially. As they become more widely accepted and used, more businesses are embracing P2P payment systems and utilizing them as a method of payment.

Among many other goods and services, precious metals investors can now buy gold and silver with PayPal and Venmo.

Why PayPal?

PayPal is considered one of the safest ways to make online payments. More than fifty million people use PayPal for making and receiving online payments. The sending and receiving parties are not able to see each other’s credit card or bank information. It is similar to an escrow payment, as it exchanges money between two parties as an intermediary. Though no system is completely immune to foul play, PayPal takes customer security and privacy very seriously. PayPal maintains all customer information in an encrypted form. These attributes make it one of the most convenient and safe online payment platforms.

What’s Venmo?

Venmo is a peer-to-peer payment platform, owned by PayPal, where people can transfer money to and from each other via a linked-up checking account, debit card, or credit card. It acts as an intermediary between people exchanging money, so that they don’t have to exchange their financial information with one another. 

You can also buy stuff with Venmo, through businesses like ours.

Venmo is popular because it is completely free with the use of checking accounts and debit cards, and a small fee of 3% for the use of a credit card. It is simple and allows you to transfer money to your peers anywhere, anytime.

Consumers and businesses have embraced services like PayPal and Venmo due to their convenience, simplicity, and security.
