▲ 217 ▼ Venmo overdrafted my bank rather than use the balance in my account (lemmy.world) submitted 1 year ago by andros_rex@lemmy.world to c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world 48 comments fedilink hide all child comments I had $50 in venmo, which I used to purchase groceries, because my bank account is currently negative. Instead of using the $50 in my bank account, instead, a week later the $50 came out of my bank account, not touching the Venmo balance at all. So now I have an overdraft fee, effectively meaning I paid 1.5 times for those groceries. I don’t have “overdraft protection,” I’ve told my bank I don’t want overdrafts to go through, but fuck me for being poor I guess.

I needed groceries and that seemed to be the best option with my only money being the $50 in the Venmo account. I thought about asking someone if I could send them the money and get cash instead, but didn’t have anyone I could do that with. permalink fedilink source parent
