fees<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While instant access to the money is compelling, note that PayPal and Venmo charge instant transfer fees, so consider using Zelle as an instant, fee-free alternative, Ted Rossman, senior industry analyst, with Bankrate.com, advised.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He says PayPal and Venmo charge a 1.75% fee for instant transfers involving consumer accounts (25 cents minimum, $25 maximum).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This can add up, especially on larger transfers,&#8221; Rossman said.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To be best prepared, he recommends building in enough
