### "Convenient, budget-friendly payment software for small business needs or personal networks"

August 6, 2019

5.0

Pros

The instant transfers are a fantastic way to run my side creative art business, or to organize billing of utilities/rent/IOUs among friends or roommates. I enjoy the interface and have never had any problems with the app crashing. It seamlessly integrates with your financial institution of choice.

Cons

Limited only by the amount of people who know the software; find it difficult to explain to elderly family members. I also think that the security features could be upgraded, although their Customer Service team is fantastic for reporting fraud.

### "Easy way to pay/get paid"

March 12, 2021

5.0

Overall it’s awesome. I highly recommend as a way to send and receive payments, and I enjoy using the app. I also like getting a text when I receive money so I know instantly.

Pros

I love Venmo because it makes it so easy to send money to friends, make purchases during a pandemic, etc. It’s free, easy to use, and fun.

Cons

Because it’s a more social payment platform, you have to put a description in and I get tired of having to find an image to put with it or something cute to say about it.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Venmo

Free, use them all for different reasons. I use Venmo when I have a choice!

I still have PayPal and use it from time to time but Venmo makes it much easier to send payments to my friends and family with very little fuss.

5.0

### "Seamless and secure payment processing!"

November 22, 2023

5.0

Venmo has simplified the payment process for clients that prefer this platform that they already use daily. I can send over an invoice with the Venmo option and I can receive payments for me and my team in minutes. The number one positive feature is how fast it is to use!

Pros

Venmo is easy to navigate and has simplified sending money to team members and receiving money from clients with just a few taps.

Cons

There was nothing that I disliked about Venmo.

### "Quick Payments, Minimal Features"

June 4, 2024

5.0

Venmo allows you to send and receive payments, and that’s about it. The social media element is odd and unnecessary. If you’re a very small business with minimal bookkeeping and data needs, Venmo works perfectly well and is often very convenient for customers.

Pros

Venmo allows me to receive payments from customer quickly and conveniently. Venmo offers buyer and merchant protection for a relatively small fee.

Cons

Venmo had very minimal features and a somewhat strange social media element. You can make your payments private, but I find it odd that this is not the default.

Venmo makes sending and accepting payment fairly simple, and efficient, not too many steps, but just enough!

### "Easiest Way to Split Bills and Make Payments"

June 23, 2022

5.0

Pros

Makes splitting bills extremely easy as you can send or request payments. Descriptions can be entered as well to remind you what it was for. Additionally, you can maintain a list for your frequent payees. The security aspect of this application is extremely strong. Locking your screen will prompt for a PIN input or Biometric entry.

Cons

The Goods Purchasing feature is not clearly explained in the UI. Often times I've had people issuing payments for personal transactions, and they select that option. That charges the seller a small "insurance" fee incase the goods that were received are not what was described. Good for actual purchases, but for bill splitting it can be a head ache.

### "For informal money transfers."

December 13, 2019

5.0

Venmo is a quick and convenient way to transfer money between friends to split checks or each pay for their share of a group activity. When one person is arranging a field trip for a group of students for example, each participant can send their share of the money.

Pros

Venmo is great for quick and informal transfers of money. It also has a nice way to communicate with friends about money transfers.

Cons

It doesn't have any dispute resolution system. Once you have transferred the money, you are done. They say in the description to make sure that you know the people you are transferring the money to because there is no way to undo the transfers.

### "A Banking Application You Can Trust"

June 3, 2019

5.0

I have been using it for many years for small money transfer. because of Venmo I can now eat out or spend money if I forget my card or cash which is so common in this time of the world.

Pros

The most important part of using this company is the trust factor. Can you trust this company with your money? Yes! I have never had a problem with my money, and transactions usually only take 1 to 2 business days.

Cons

I was a little frustrated that there is no way to take back money you send accidentally. If you accidentally pay the wrong person, that person has to send it back, that is the only way to get it back. That can get tricky.

### "Best payment"

September 30, 2021

5.0

It has a simple UI that's easy to use and secure for my clients, friends and businesses. Venmo is a trusted and secure payment provider with one of the lowest fees or no fees.

Pros

This is the #1 payment tool I use to pay not only friends, but businesses, farmer's market, and other small businesses. It connects directly with my bank and I am able to security send payment to anyone.

Cons

You have to double check you are sending the right transaction to the right person otherwise it might be hard to undo it.

### "Incredibly easy payment method, particularly good for remote payments"

April 28, 2022

5.0

Phenomenal product, incredibly easy to make payments online.

Pros

Incredibly intuitive to use. Money is transferred to the venmo balance instantly, and making payments is so easy because of the unqiue username and QR code.

Cons

I think the UI could use some improvement. There are several windows you need to go through before making a payment. And too much confirmation. Also, I think that the choosing layout of the payment method is unintuitive.

### "Easy and trusted payment"

September 30, 2020

5.0

I have happily used Venmo since college. I use it most with my friends when we have a bar tab that we need to split up, so that we can put it on one card and then pay our exact share without having to deal with cash.

Pros

I love how easy and intuitive Venmo is. It makes it very easy to transfer money between people, which is useful in both my personal life and with business expenses -- you can split bills evenly and exactly without any difficulty. The social media aspect is also fun when you're using it personally, as you can see your friends' transactions. It's also backed up by a trusted payment network, so I have full faith in my security.

Cons

There is a 2-3 day processing delay when depositing Venmo funds into your checking account. You can pay a nominal fee to expedite this and have the funds available instantly, however I don't like to have to pay to access my money. Given the fact that there is no cost for using Venmo, though, it is understandable and avoidable.

### "Easiest Payment App I use!!! "

October 19, 2021

5.0

Love it.

Pros

I pay for so many services on this app. It keeps track of all of it for me. I absolutely choose this over any other payment processing app I have.

Cons

I haven't figured out how to save my frequently paid contacts so I don't have to search for them much. However that's more on me to figure that out, not the app.

### "Easy Money Transfers Among Friends/Family"

March 21, 2021

5.0

Overall, my experience with Venmo is great. I am able to easily receive and send money without worry or hassle.

Pros

Venmo makes it very easy to transfer money to others. Where we used to have to go through our bank and know people's account number, routing number, etc., venmo allows us to skip all of that process! With venmo, we are able to transfer money literally in seconds to anyone anywhere. All you need is a username!

Cons

I don't particularly like that Venmo publicizes my transactions. I know that I can choose to make things private, but since it is not an automatic feature, sometimes I forget to toggle the transaction to private.

### "Venmo is a great way to pay others on the go!"

November 8, 2021

5.0

With very little fees, Venmo is a great way to pay and get paid. The Venmo card was very easy to get and to use and the QR code scanner saved lots of time to send invoices and payments to clients and others.

Pros

I loved how easy it was to send a receive payments of clients, friends and family. I also love how accessible it is.

Cons

I was not too big a fan of the social media side of the app and always felt I needed to double check and make sure payments were private so that it was not shared through social media.

### "Venmo is great but has it's flaws"

April 15, 2021

5.0

I'm pretty happy with venmo. Most people use it which is nice but I am currently looking for better options to send and receive money.

Pros

I like that it is easy to send money from person to person. I like that there are security measures to make sure you are sending money to the right person. Also their debt card program is great so you don't have to lose money transferring it to your account.

Cons

The fees are a little high. I also don't like that there always seams to be issues when adding cards. Plus lately there has been an on going issue where transfers are being declined YET there is no issue with the account the transfer is coming from

### "Venmo review "

April 15, 2021

5.0

My overall experience with Venmo has been great. I’ve only ran into one problem in over 2 years - triple charge but support handled and within 7-10 days my money was returned.

Pros

What I like most about Venmo is the quickness and effectiveness of the app. I also really like that they came out with their own VEnmo bank card for your transactions

Cons

It is hard to say there is anything I don’t like about the app; if I had to say there was room for Improvement it would be the search capabilities- it shows a ton of potential people when you type in a persons first and last name. Also the ability to cancel a transaction
