PayPal Holdings Inc. is lowering the age requirement for its popular person-to-person payments app Venmo, allowing parents of children between the ages of 13 and 17 to sign them up for a teen account.

Parents will be able to monitor transactions and manage their children’s privacy settings, according to a statement Monday. Venmo was previously only available to those 18 and older.
