The CampusWall forum allows students, staff and administrators to buy, sell and share goods and services within their campus community. Venmo is a simple and free way to collect money and pay others from a mobile device. By linking your debit card, credit card, or bank account, you can instantly pay friends for anything from meals and drinks to textbooks and furniture.

"Since our inception, I've had the vision to tap into peer-to-peer (P2P) payment functionality, as it is a logical fit for our P2P marketplace. It's been our goal to offer additional alternatives to the traditional exchange of cash when buying and selling through our site," says Tina Snyder, Founder/CEO of CampusWall. "CampusWall and Venmo are a perfect pairing, and we are excited to partner with them to include such a great payment service."

Venmo will also be teaming with CampusWall in an upcoming nationwide campus promotion.
