Its users are also given cash back offers ranging from 1% to 3% for certain purchases. The new feature will provide free transactions for every crypto purchase. Asset exchange conversion fees will also be included in the monthly transaction report.

According to Venmo Vice President and Manager, Darrell Esch, said that the cash back feature for crypto in Venmo credit cards offers customers a new way to start exploring the crypto world.
