### "It works -- appreciate the Goods and Services option"

October 28, 2022

5.0

Pros

Venmo is perfect for sending and receiving money -- especially for in-person sales. There was a point were people were using Venmo for online sales which unfortunately allowed scammers to not send goods yet still receive payment. Venmo has fixed this issue by allowing you to note if items are paying for a good or service instead of sending funds between family and friends -- comparable to competitor program. Now e-commerce can use this function and receive more protection for online purchases. The app is especially easy to use as well, and funds deposit quickly and effectively into bank accounts.

Cons

No cons now that the goods and services feature is added.

### "Easy money exchange "

December 9, 2019

5.0

I’ve used Venmo with friends and roommates to pay for rent or splitting bills and restaurant checks and it’s so quick and easy! It’s a common app that helps when trying sell items on Facebook or other sell/buy sites and won’t take a percent like PayPal does. Sometimes I have a hard time sending my username or code to people who don’t know how to use the app well but in the end we always figure out a way to find each other. Love this convenient app!

Pros

I like that you can find anyone’s account when given their username and send or request payment quickly and easily.

Cons

Sometimes it’s hard for strangers to find your profile if they need to buy something from you online.

Paypal would take a percentage and Venmo gets you the whole amount!

### "venmo or cashapp?"

March 30, 2021

4.0

IT IS A GREAT PRODUCT TO USE TO TRANSFER MONEY QUICKLY AMONGST FRIENDS OR DO BUSINESS WITH OTHER PEOPLE, OFFERS GOOD CASHBACK AND REWARDS PROGRAMS, AND BEST OF ALL ITS FREE TO USE

Pros

IT IS FREE TO USE, THEY SEND YOU A FREE DEBIT CARD, THEY OFFER REWARDS AND CASHBACK ON CERTAIN PURCHASES, IT IS FAST AND EASY TO SEND MONEY TO YOUR FRIENDS OR COLLEAGUES, YOU CAN ALSO SPLIT PAYMENT FOR CERTAIN ITEMS AMONGST MORE THAN ONE PERSON

Cons

WHEN ADDING MONEY FROM A BANK ACCOUNT IT DOESNT COME INSTANTLY, LIKE CASHAPP DOES, IT TAKES 2-3 BUSINESS DAYS

### "Favorite Online Payment App"

July 9, 2020

5.0

Pros

Absolutely love using Venmo to request payments from friends, family, coworkers, etc. Super easy to use and convenient app on my phone.

Cons

Wish there was a splitting payment feature between multiple people (like if one person grabs the check at a restaurant for 4 people - auto splitting that payment).

### "Great software for sending and receiving payments"

February 26, 2020

5.0

Great application that can be quickly used by everyone. Very simple to get started and the best thing about it is that it is one of the top software used by people. It is nice to know most people have a venmo account as it simplifies sending and receiving payments, which otherwise can be a daunting challenge.

Pros

The ease of connecting your bank, making a transaction, and viewing all of your transaction history are some of the best features of this application. It is nice to have a social media access with the software as it allows people to be able to find others that need to make transactions where it would otherwise be difficult to track.

Cons

More features need to be developed for the software. The application has not made many major upgrades and while it works, there are many features to increase the users' capabilities to do things such as have reoccurring payments and undo payments within a short period of time when mistakes are made.

### "Basic Review for a basic software "

December 17, 2021

3.0

Overall my experience has been mediocre and again, basic. There's nothing new about venmo that we haven't already seen in other payment softwares. The only good thing they have going for them is their customer service. They agents could get back to you a little faster, but they still get back to you at least unlike cashapp or PayPal.

Pros

I like that if is offered and used almost anywhere online.

Cons

What I like least about this software is that it's basic and doesn't offer anything we haven't already seen before. They say they offer same day bank transfers but I have yet to have any of my money transfered the same day it is received in my Venmo account.

It’s been great. It’s easy to keep track of my clients payments and it’s so easy to use. Even my older clients understand it.

Pros

My clients love using venmo to send me payments for their hair services and tips .

Cons

Nothing I can think of. Everything works well for what I use it for

### "Venmo is so simple! "

June 26, 2019

5.0

Pros

My favorite thing about Venmo is just how easy it is to use! I can easily send money and also receive money from family, friends and co workers with a few clicks in the app! I also love the slight bit of social media aspect to it and how you can say what you are paying people for and your friends in your contacts or other social media platforms can see as well! I just think its fun and makes the app more interactive!

Cons

If I had a con, it would be just that transferring the money for no fee can take a few days, but I don't really even mind that because if you need the money to be available asap you can do so for a very small fee to Venmo.

### "Love the accessibility of Venmo! "

September 23, 2022

5.0

Pros

Venmo has become a verb in our house. Statements like, "Do you just want to Venmo me?" Otherwise, I love how easy Venmo is to send people money and pay for items/things.

Cons

The amount of money they are now taking for depositing into the bank and for the business application. Additionally, that they are taxing this income even though it may be a "reimbursement" for a meal that I purchased while out with a friend.

### "Makes tipping effortless"

January 15, 2022

5.0

Overall, the fact that I don’t have to pay to use Venmo is amazing. “Venmo me” is now a coined term in our salon. Gone are the days of added credit card tips or Clients not having cash to tip.

Pros

Venmo makes sure my employees get tipped all of the time. There’s no more “I don’t have cash on me” or nasty credit card fees eating in to a service providers tips. Everyone has Venmo these days.

Cons

I think it’s weird that there’s a public option and people use it.

### "Venmo user"

September 23, 2021

4.0

Pros

I like the ability to simply receive or request payment from others. No strings attached, no 20 steps to get over to execute that.

Cons

It freezes or has some kind of lags on the mobile app. I wish i can search easily the payments I made based on text historically. I wish I can disable email notifications for every payment made/received.

August 4, 2022

Venmo is easily one of the best payment processing platforms out there. From the moment it got released a few years ago, it revolutionized how easy it became to send and receive payments. Truly the best out there.

Cons

Not much negative to say about the platform!

### "Venmo is a safe way to transfer money. "

April 10, 2024

5.0

I always had a good experience until recently. Will never use Venmo again

Pros

It’s very easy to send and receive money through friends, as well as split payments. It’s also anonymous if you don’t want others to see your transaction.

Cons

I don’t like how it froze my account with out notification or warning. Now I cannot access it at all, and still do no know why.

### "Easy to use for repaying people"

September 9, 2021

5.0

Great experience, the only downside is the weak support. But that makes sense considering how popular Venmo is.

Pros

This is the easiest app for repaying people when going out, uber, rent, expenses, etc. I pretty much exclusively use Venmo since it's cheap (basically free) and easy to use with most of my friends having an account.

Cons

The new design/app is more confusing, I preferred the previous version.

Pros

Venmo is so much easier to use than PayPal. It is easy for me to decide when i want to pull money into my account and I like that i get pinged when a transaction has arrived.

Cons

As a global organization, we set up pool funds and I wish that Venmo could be more universal.

### "Good Software for Payments"

December 8, 2021

4.0

It is a great payment platform for a small business.

Pros

Venmo is a very convenient software to collect payments for your small business. It is simple for people to find you (through your handle or QR code) and is secure. Many people use venmo nowadays so its user friendly.

Cons

I would say the transaction fee, but understandable since it is a business solution separate from individual use.
