Pros I appreciate how readily available the QR code is from the app, as well as the fact that one can print it out and it can be scanned by a customer without interaction. Cons The software over the last year has been slower when used on a mobile phone. It opens very slowly and typically will force quit before I am able to request/make payment. Review Source CC Carly C. Event Coordinator Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Contactless Payment" December 10, 2020 5.0 My overall experience is two thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!! Pros I've used Venmo for a long time and always enjoyed the ease of using it with family and friends. When we have gatherings and someone picks up all the food, it's easy to just Venmo them for my part. However, lately we have been using Venmo to do business with small businesses! Contactless pickup has allowed me to venmo people for products. I love that most everyone has this app and it's easy to make payments to them. I recommend downloading this app if you want what majority of people use, at least in my state. Cons There really isn't anything that I don't like about this app. As mentioned in the pros section it's easy to use and all the money transfers right to my bank! I'll sometimes just keep my payments in my Venmo app and use what has been sent to me to make payments to other people! It's wonderful. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Development Associate Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Venmo Review " February 17, 2021 3.0 It's honestly just okay. Like I said, I wouldn't trust it with larger transactions (over $100) Pros The reason we still use this service is because it is very well known and people seem to be okay sending small amounts through the service. There is also no service fees, which is nice. Cons I would not use this platform/software if you are wanting to transfer large amounts of money. We only use it for smaller transactions. I have honestly had several cases where we had to dispute some of the charges, and if that is the case, we would rather them be smaller amounts of money that won't hurt our bank if we don't have. I would not trust this service with larger than $100 transactions.

Pros It has never been easier to transfer money. I no longer even own a checkbook or carry cash. I can instantly transfer money to friends for any reason - going out to eat, planning vacations, etc. I've even used it to pay the architect who is doing renovations on our house. Millennials for the win. Also, describing things in emojis is fun. Cons There's probably nothing I dislike about this app. It's incredible. Review Source Ivan C. Data Scientist Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Venmo usage for daily basis" June 19, 2020 5.0 Overall Venmo serve the need for my team, where we can use this to easily transfer money from and to account. Pros Venmo has a clean and intuitive GUI for users, such intuitive design provides an easy navigation route for using such software. It is completely for individual users but it can also be an enterprise option for business. Cons Although Venmo has established its presence in the market, its limited feature and capability make it slightly less competitive than other software like Zelle. Review Source AK Alexanderia K. TMS Solutions Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy Money Transfer Software" January 11, 2022 5.0 This is the software I use for all money exchanges and always recommend it to colleagues, family, and friends. Pros Venmo is so easy to set up and add your bank information. It is incredibly easy to send money to a person or receive money and deposit straight to your bank account Cons At this moment I have not found anything I do not like about Venmo Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Executive Broadcast Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy and quick to use" November 19, 2019 5.0 Quick and easy way to send/receive money. Overall, it's very compatible and most people have it which makes it even easier to use. Pros I love being able to have money at my fingertips; almost as though I have actual bills in my hand. This works great around the office with my team as well as with my clients. Cons The fee! I know it's not that huge of a deal, but I don't like having to give up a percentage to get my money faster. I prefer faster just to make sure that everything goes through correctly, but I really hate the fee that comes with it. Switched from [PayPal](https://www.capterra.com/p/207944/PayPal/) More people have Venmo, so it's easier and more compatible Review Source Maia E. Cosmetologist Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy Peasy" April 2, 2020 5.0 Overall I use Venmo on a regular basis. It’s a quick way to send and receive money. It’s easy to navigate. I would just say set your transactions to private if you don’t want everyone to know- How much you’re paying and to who and for what? Pros I like the fact that you can send and receive money instantly. And I like thefees are low per transaction. Cons I don’t like how public the information is to everyone. And if you don’t see a little button to click to make the transaction private everyone is in your business. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager, People & Possibilities Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Venmo is the way to go! " December 1, 2020 5.0 It's one of those apps where you wonder why it took so long for someone to invent. It is so easy to use. You can't go wrong with Venmo. Pros Sending money has never been easier. There are so many instances where I use Venmo both personally or professionally. I use it to send money to friends when we are ordering food, or if my coworkers and I are all pitching in on a gift for someone at work. It takes seconds to send money. They provide statements for you as well. You can also keep money in your account to pay for things if that's something you'd like to do, or you can connect it directly to your bank account. Cons You have to add something to the comment section in order to send money. I am not exactly sure why. However, most people just send some type of emoji so it's not necessarily a con, I just don't understand the why behind that. Review Source MF Melissa F. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect in a Pinch " August 21, 2020 5.0 I have never had any issues with it, and I am very satisfied. It’s also easy to show new users how to install and use it. Pros I like that it’s essentially free to use, and it’s very easy to navigate. I love using this for events like baby showers at work or company birthdays- it makes chipping in really easy, no more worrying about forgetting cash! Cons The percent for the instant transfer can be annoying especially when collecting donations, since it’s minimizes each person’s contribution. Other than that, it’s very convenient l. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Graduate Research Assistant Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best way to perform personal transactions without cash" October 29, 2019 5.0 I don't use Venmo with my job, but I use it very frequently with personal life, usually when buying used goods or splitting bills with family members. I've always found it easy to use and a much more convenient option than cash or checks. Pros Venmo is extremely convenient. I love that you can both request money from and pay other people, and tag payments with info. It's more convenient in a lot of ways than paying with cash, which is what I did when I used to split rent with roommates. Cons I have to go in and check how much is in my Venmo balance, rather than having it go straight to my bank account. Sometimes transactions add up and I might have a couple hundred dollars sitting in Venmo that I didn't know I had access to. It's a simple thing to send money from the Venmo balance to the bank account, but I wish it did all that automatically instead of manually. Review Source TN Timothy N. Musician Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mo' me!" March 23, 2021 5.0 Venmo is great. I think it could have some updates to the app platform itself in terms of user-friendly manipulation, but otherwise its a solid tool. Pros My favorite thing about Venmo is the ease of use and transfer options. I can transfer money to my bank instantly for a small fee. Cons While this software is great, I'm frequently upset with the amount of glitches I find in the app. This has waned over the past year, for it was so glitchy in 2020 I would sometimes have to sit on the screen after paying to let it load for up to 5 minutes. Review Source LS Leslie S. Job Coach Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Venmo is the BEST!!" March 31, 2020 5.0 My overall experience with Venmo was PERFECT!! Love it and will continue using it for a very long time!! Pros Venmo is very easy to use!! Especially for someone who is not very technical or savvy with technology. Cons Venmo is perfect!! There is not anything I didn’t like about it. I was very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Web & Graphic Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Feels incomplete" May 19, 2021 3.0 I use it for receiving payments from clients, where credit card fees would be damaging for the budged. Pros No fees for payments. That means it is cheaper being paid there than for example on paypal, square or many other competitors. Cons It is very vocal and public about the payments you do or receive. For many causes it is a good thing. Like collection for candidates or public stuff like that. But for privacy sake, it tells everyone how much do you received, when, from whom in a facebook like timeline... I really hate that. Review Source KS Kara S. Office Manager Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love Venmo!" November 6, 2020 5.0 The benefits of having Venmo for a business is that you can add a certain amount of funds to the card for employees to use. Pros Venmo is such a great app to be able to pay people and to receive money. The best part of this app is that you can get a debit card to use anywhere to make purchases, and it comes fast in the mail once you order it. Transferring money from Venmo to your bank is fast and easy and the surcharge isn't much at all so that helps! Cons The only con to Venmo is that you are unable to add your own funds to your Venmo account. I am always having to Venmo someone else, to have them Venmo it back to me :( Switched from [PayPal](https://www.capterra.com/p/207944/PayPal/) I liked that Venmo has the option to have a debit card Review Source BV Bianca V. Social Studies Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Venmo for quickly sending money" August 18, 2021 5.0 Love it! Will continue to use Pros I love the different ways I can use Venmo: collecting payment for items I sell in online marketplaces, securing purchases through online marketplaces, paying my half of the tab while out with a friend, sending gift money, donation contributions and more! Cons I’ve never been able to use the QR code to pay someone and think it’s a pointless feature. Review Source iC ikechukwu C. manager Cosmetics Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "venmo" September 20, 2021 5.0 tbh venmo is very good and fast to transfer money Pros venmo is easy, fast and convenient, ive been using venmo for a long time now Cons its pretty annoying cause there is always extra charges transferring from your venmo account to your bank account Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quick and easy way to transfer funds" September 23, 2020 5.0 Venmo has solved my problem of struggling to remember to pay with checks. I simply use the app to instantly send money. Pros Venmo is a great solution for anyone needing quick, painless money transfers. It can be used to pay vendors electronically, or for simple tasks like repaying a lunch debt. I recommend it for any business that could use a fast transfer application. Cons There are no negatives, just be sure your users link their PayPal if they already have one (Venmo is a Paypal service). Review Source YR Yeravothula R. Software Engineer Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and integrate with your product" July 19, 2021 5.0 Pros It was easy to integrate with my product, where one can buy me a coffee by simply sending money to my venmo business account. The customer help and support were great, when I had issues on how to setup tax deductions at source. Cons Venmo is relatively new to the market, and still lacks APIs. I expect them to provide APIs to automate a lot of things like recurrent money transfers etc. Review Source BE Ben E. Colorist Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very easy to use " March 9, 2021 5.0 Nothing but positive things to say about Venmo. Very easy to use. Pros Very easy to use, especially the business account. Very easy to see payments and see history. I can’t live without Venmo. Cons The app can be very glitchy and slow. Payments can be sent and not show up for a while. Hard to search to payees, friends. Switched from [PayPal](https://www.capterra.com/p/207944/PayPal/) Easier. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Incredibly Useful Product for Young Adults" July 25, 2019 5.0 Pros Incredibly easy to use, wonderful capabilities and free for users - wonderful for any young adults! Cons No problems at all, the only capability I think would be useful to add would be an option to revoke sent money if its sent by accident Switched from [PayPal](https://www.capterra.com/p/207944/PayPal/) Venmo was much easier to use Review Source SA Steph A. Owner/Director Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Top Notch" September 20, 2023 5.0 It’s fast and easy and most of my purchases prefer it. Pros That I can pay for an item right away. I don’t have to mess with getting cash or writing checks for an item. Cons I have not encountered any issues. I think that it should be set where you don’t see your purchases without having to change yourself. Review Source KW Krew W. Self-Employed Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A lot of people already use it!!" July 15, 2020 5.0 Paying customers and other investors has become easier and easier with this app and has allowed me to familiarity with my funds and payments over time. Receiving monthly transaction reports allows me to be on top of my work flow and funds. Pros I'd say the biggest plus to this app is that people already use it. It's not one of those apps that just came out and you need to ask people to download it and use it. A lot of my colleagues already use it and are familiar with it. It's free to use and it connects to any bank account of your choice. You can send or receive money from anyone. It's probably one of the easiest apps to use when dealing with money transfers. When transferring money you can make it public or private depending on the situation. You and the other party are the only people that can see the amount in the transaction. Cons If you want to send money instantly you have pay a small fee, other than that you have to wait one to three business days. Some may find the format confusing at first. Works best in the United States and Canada. Review Source JM Jacob M. Tech Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to send and receive money" December 9, 2021 5.0 Pros Easy to setup and easy to send/receive money. Cons I had to enter personal information as of this year. Review Source JF John F. Ceo Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Venmo" May 29, 2021 4.0 Again as a payer using this service, it works as intended. It is easy. Records are easily obtained for transactions. The overall simplicity makes sending payment a breeze. Pros I used this to pay service providers for various services offered and work completed for our company. It was very easy to use. An invoice is received and a payment is completed. Cons In terms of sending payment and that side of the service venmo provides, we have no real issues. The simplicity, the solid records, and overall process seems to work on the payer side.
