### "Quick and easy-to-use peer-to-peer payments"

November 16, 2019

4.0

Venmo has allowed me to transfer funds with my colleagues and friends for various requirements quickly and very easily.

Pros

Venmo provides a platform to make peer-to-peer payments quickly and efficiently. It also provides social aspects with the ability to share details of transactions with friends and to be able to react to them in the form of comments and other methods. Connecting a bank account to your Venmo account is easy and simple.

Cons

Venmo is prone to attach somewhat large processing fees to fund transfers. It also charges fees for immediate transfers of funds from a Venmo account to a connected bank account.

### "EasyRock"

July 25, 2019

5.0

Nothing but great experiences with venmo. I love venmo.

Pros

We use this software daily at work. I love that I can pay other people in my company when we order food or coffee each day. It makes it to where I do not have to carry cash on me at work and can do everything with the easy use of my phone on the venmo app. This has created a better work atmosphere as fellow employees don't get upset or angry when they aren't paid back in a certain amount of time and we can easily transfer funds for our portion of coffee or food we get for long days at the office.

Cons

The thing I like least about this software is the percentage it takes out when you do a direct transfer to your bank account. Its a very small percentage, however it would be the best if you didn't have any of the money taken out at all.

### "Venmo is an easy and fun way to pay & receive money from your friends and family!"

April 14, 2019

5.0

Pros

I've been using Venmo between my friends the past few years and it's been a great app to easily collect payments and send payments to my friends and family members! For anyone new to the app though, when you receive money it does go into your "venmo" account and it will sit there until you choose to deposit it into your bank account. If you're using Venmo quite often to pay & receive, having it sit there is great, but if you need the money right off the bat, make sure that you choose to deposit it. The great news is now they offer instant deposit for a small fee of 1%!

Cons

I'm constantly running into errors when I try to make payments when I'm not using Wifi. Looks like it works best when you're connected to a network. It's kind of a bummer cause there have been times where I've been out and needed to pay someone right away and the app wasn't working properly or submitting the money because it wasn't connected to the internet.

### "First to Concept"

September 9, 2021

5.0

Pros

I thought the tying in of what was essentially a Paypal type service to social media was brilliant. I liked the easy to use software and fun emoticons.

Cons

I didn't like that the privacy settings were defaulted to share more than perhaps some folks would have liked. I think you need to start off very private settings-wise and allow for users to scale that down.

### "So easy to work with! "

August 25, 2020

5.0

This app is great for my business. Instead of using my regular business page where shipping is a must, I can still sell my items without shipping and hand deliver it when it's a friend that I can see. No fees, and less expensive to my customers.

Pros

You don't have to pay to use this! This app is amazing especially if you own a business and you don't have to ship an item, you can easily use this to pay. Venmo works great when trying to split bills or just send money. All you need is an account and link it to your bank. The transfer to your bank is very quick also. There's barely any wait time and no fees to have it transferred directly.

Cons

When trying to send money to a non user, one should be able to do it by emailing them and if they choose to accept the money, that's when they can create an account instead of having them create the account first. Other than that, this app does not have any flaws on my end.

### "Probably the easiest way to transfer money on a casual way."

February 11, 2021

5.0

Venmo became an icon for day to day small money transactions in between parties. The payment can be made public is a social media fashion, but I rather keep all my transactions private, but that's just a matter of not needing to make everything public. I can't remember people complaining about the app not being safe, so it's a quite trusted system compared to other alternatives that exist. You can share your Venmo user tag or share a QR code in order to request or pay someone, so there are options and they are quite easy to get used to. There is a reason people would say Venmo me, yes, it's a thing.

Pros

Easy to use and straightforward. Make your transactions public, if you want. Secure, never had an issue with the system.

Cons

Some transaction can be posted public, and this sometimes it's not desired. Can be confusing for some new users on how to use the system.

Reason for choosing Venmo

Sounds like a lot of scammers choose this method.

### "Would be perfect if the just weren't added fee's"

July 12, 2021

5.0

A very good app use it pretty often and it has not once given me trouble.

Pros

Processing fees are a pain, it happens everywhere yea but those small amounts add up. I understand they got to make their money but when so many people are using Apps like these you'd think they'd be a little less greedy overall it's an amazing app and does make things very simple.

Cons

Well apart from the fees there really not much wrong with this App it's not perfect and financing would be awesome but maybe someday.

### "Do we need to know what people spend money on?"

October 31, 2019

Easy to use, features are ok and if you do enjoy sharing your expenses then it’s a right fit for you

Pros

I’ve used this app for about a year or so and I love the features This is easy to use Comes with a card to use at stores

Cons

I don’t like to know why people spend their money on. I definitely don’t want others to know what I spend my money on. I haven’t found an option to turn it off

### "The best for sending money"

October 8, 2020

5.0

Venmo is great and I'd recommend anyone use it. Very impressed!

Pros

I like how easy it is to use Venmo. I am able to send money back and forth with my colleagues with just a couple clicks of a button. I appreciate the privacy offered as well. Others are unable to see how much money I am sending back and forth.

Cons

I'd like to be able to sync more than one banking account to my Venmo account. This would allow my wife and I to use the same Venmo account.

### "Is there anything better? "

April 2, 2019

5.0

Pros

Venmo is the best thing out there since sliced bread. Is there an easier to use app to help transfer money? I do not need to carry cash anymore, or even my wallet for that matter. After downloading the app, all that is needed is to add your banking details and you will be able to transfer money to and from your intended recipient. Simple, simple, simple.

Cons

There is nothing that I do not like about the app, works like a charm.

### "I wouldn't recommend Venmo to my worst enemy"

December 5, 2019

2.0

Started using it to give back money to friends or charge for menial jobs. I changed my phone number and could never get in again.

Pros

The features advertised, though simple, sound like they could solve a problem. I like the advertised simplicity of sending money through the platform.

Cons

Venmo has terrible and blocking UX issues as well as privacy issues. The privacy can be configured but I've come to roadblock once I changed my phone number and my money is trapped in the app. Customer support is terrible.

### "Works well, preferred to paypal"

June 29, 2022

5.0

I use both Venmo and Paypal to process payments. My experience with both is very positive, though QR codes are easier to send with Venmo. I also think my key profile information is more intuitive to access when needed to process payments.

Pros

I love how easy it is to send QR codes to request funds

Cons

There's nothing I don't like. It's my preferred software for payment processing.

### "Quickest and Simplest Way to Send Money"

September 16, 2020

4.0

Using it for swift small payments, requesting money from friends has never been so seamless. Also, integrations with Splitwise takes the Splitwise Venmo combo very effectively.

Pros

Its as simple as it can get, just by a tap of a button, send money to any friend or a merchant who uses Venmo. Its like Social network to send money. Best thing is its easy, quick, simple, user friendly. For a little fun - you can also view your friends activity. Also, there are no bank barriers, two people with different bank accounts and exchange money seamlessly.

Cons

The merchant network for Venmo payment is very limited, so you cannot use that at many places. Since its owned by Paypal now - there are integrations that you expect but not happened yet. Also, it should have an option of linking your credit card - currently it is limited to bank accounts and thats a challenge.

### "Easy to move money"

October 15, 2019

5.0

I haven't really stumbled upon any issues, everything was easy to work with as well as all my clients had it easy as well.

Pros

One of the fastest and easiest ways to collect, send and receive money locally. Setup is fast and easy too, all that's needed is connecting your bank account and downloading the app.

Cons

I sometimes wish that this app is already integrated through the banks instead of having to download yet another app to add to the phone.

I had multiple issues with paypal in terms of sending and receiving money. Oh and especially those paypal fees when it should be free cause it's local.

### "Send/Receive Money Anytime & Anywhere"

October 27, 2019

5.0

I have rented out different apartments. With Venmo, I am able to send security deposits to landlords without being in the same city/state. This makes it easy to secure a place to live. I am able to send money instantly and in seconds.

Pros

I like that I can send and receive money anytime and anywhere. I link my bank account to Venmo for easy access to my debit account. I do not have to cash on me & and I can repay friends anytime. Transactions are immediate. I also like that I can request money. Venmo makes it simple to pay rent, send/receive money to friends/colleagues, and saves time! I can send and receive money instantly from my phone!

Cons

A con would be that it can take up to 3 days for your balance to transfer to your bank account. If it takes 1 day, that is great! Waiting 3 days can be a while to receive your money.

### "Venmo Review "

March 5, 2019

4.0

Pros

The one thing I like about this software is the option to add another user using the QR code scanning feature. It makes it easy to share and add users without having to look up the user and not being sure if it is them.

Cons

The one thing I like least about this software is that it charges you for the same day transfer. This is why I have started using Zelle, is because they do instant transfers without having to add an extra charge.

September 11, 2019

Venmo makes it so easy to send and receive money quickly. Once the money is in your account you can have it in your bank the next day.

Pros

This software has an extremely small learning curve. Once you open the app it is very obvious what needs to be done in order to send or receive money.

Cons

The idea of downloading an app and hooking up my bank account to it was a little scary at first. But once I found out the company was owned by Paypal, I felt much better about it.

Venmo is the best way to send money to others, in my opinion. It's easy to use, it's fun to look at your friends' activity as well. We even got older people into it which can be hard to do with money transfer software!

Cons

There isn't anything i dislike about this software; it serves all my money transfer needs and is easy for everyone in my group to use.

### "Venmo Let’s You send Mo"

April 27, 2021

5.0

Overall Venmo let’s you send more. Because the cost is low and it’s quick and easy to set up. I have not once had any unexpected negative es come from using this and there is no other competitor that can compete

Pros

The ease of use and cost. You won’t find anything as simple and easy. First of its kind that has no hidden costs, which I love.

Cons

I don’t like that the user information is available for others to view. Financial information should be private and if you aren’t aware you won’t know to hide who you send and receive money from is available to view publicly unless you yourself change the settings.
