### "Venmo is my preferred app to send and receive money online"

November 18, 2020

5.0

Great app! Easy to use and hassle free (did I say no fees?)

Pros

I like that there are no fees associated with using Venmo as opposed to other options that are out there.

Cons

Nothing. It's pretty easy and straightforward. It would be nice to be able to categorize past purchases, but I'm not complaining.

### "Move Money with ease"

April 2, 2020

5.0

The overall experience is very positive, I like how you're able to see the history of your transaction to easily track the in's and out's of cash.

Pros

What i like most about Venmo is the ability to quickly, and securely, send money to anyone on the platform.

Cons

What i like lease is how hard it is to reverse sending money to the wrong person. Sometimes people have very similar tags, and it is very hard to reverse that.

### "Simple, easy, & fast"

February 10, 2021

4.0

Overall I love using Venmo - it's instant and fast and trustworthy. Especially love the feature of scanning someone's profile to find them, as searching usernames can be tricky. I've never had the experience of accidentally sending money to the wrong person, but I see how it can happen pretty easily.

Pros

Super easy to set up and use. Trustworthy, with almost instant turnaround time when transferring money to friends, and very reasonably quick turnaround time to move money to your bank account. And the best part is - no fees!!

Cons

Personally I'm not a huge fan of making it into a new social media kind of app. I really don't need to share my transactions like a fb wall, and I definitely don't care about trying to figure out who paid who for an emoji sandwich

### "Simple and streamlined"

January 15, 2020

5.0

My overall experience is Venmo is positive. It's super easy to exchange money, which makes splitting the bill much less of a hassle.

Pros

This software makes it extremely easy and efficient to send and request money from others. You can usually find people without needing their specific username, but it helps to have it anyway. Transfers happen almost instantly, and withdrawing happens usually within 48 hours as well.

Cons

The only con to this software is that you can see the activity of all of your other contacts. Usually the dollar amount is hidden, but I honestly don't care to know that someone I went to high school with just paid a friend for \*beer emoji\* and \*taco emoji.\* Maybe that's a personal preference, though.

### "You don't need to be young to use this program"

September 10, 2019

5.0

I find it is easier to be paid on time with those who no longer see the need to use checks.

Pros

Venmo is easy to set up and quick to use and it's FREE most of the time. I like the ease of receiving and sending money to friends and business acquaintances.

Cons

Trying to find another user can be frustrating at times. The name needs to spelled exactly as the other user has programmed it and it is not always their correct name. I'm not a fan of seeing who or what others have paid to others. I have set my account as private.

### "I was able to continue making money throughout the COVID19 pandemic "

April 13, 2021

5.0

Pros

When the COVID19 pandemic began, the families that I walked dogs for stopped wanting to give checks, meet in person or exchange money. Through venmo I was able to continue working throughout this tough time, continue making money and helping out these families in need of assistance as well

Cons

Would benefit from a better tutorial for new users

### "Venmo > cash app "

October 26, 2022

5.0

Pros

Just saying, Venmo is highly secure which I love! It’s easy to use & im able to collect payments with this app. Wether from a sale or family & friends want to send me cash.

Cons

Only cons is there’s a limit on how much you can send. But, that’s ok. Still a great app!

### "Literally Use Venmo Everyday"

September 24, 2019

5.0

Venmo has simplified our office ordering for lunch. One person can order and we can then Venmo the person who paid. It literally makes paying someone back effortless. Must use app.

Pros

I love how easy it is to transfer money back and forth to people. I also like the feature to transfer back to your bank. It is very nice to be able to use your linked bank account or enter a credit card.

Cons

I do not dislike much but I wish you could send money without having to put a description of what it is for. Sometimes when I am trying to do it fast I hate having to fill in this section.

### "Seamless Way to Send Money"

March 7, 2019

5.0

Venmo helps me organize work events, pay back colleagues, and run events to build company morale.

Pros

It is so easy to send, receive and request money from friends and coworkers. I actually use this most often at work, to buy tickets for fundraisers and make donations to non-profits. I also love how easy it is to split the cost of meals, drinks, etc, without needing to carry around cash, write checks, or inevitably forget to pay someone back.

Cons

I'm not in love with the public feed. Not everything needs to be social!

### "Great for personal payments"

September 16, 2019

4.0

When I need to send or receive money, it's sometimes the fastest way to do it.

Pros

It's easy to link accounts and pay and / or receive payment from friends and clients. A lot of people are using it, so it's easy to send a request and get paid

Cons

It's not really set up for professional invoices

Reason for choosing Venmo

It seems many more people are using this over PayPal, so I use it alongside PayPal and stripe.

### "Mobile Payments Made Easy"

October 22, 2021

5.0

Pros

You can quickly and easily receive payments online to your mobile device. Clients can simply scan you unique QR Code and send you a payment in a snap. No searching for your profile required. You can set up multiple bank accounts within one profile and choose which bank account to transfer your money to each time.

Cons

It takes up to 3 business days to receive the money in your bank account, but this is standard for the industry. Of course, you can have the money transferred more quickly for a fee.

Alternatives considered

[PayPal](https://www.capterra.com/p/207944/PayPal/)[Cash App](https://www.capterra.com/p/246167/Cash-App/)

Reason for choosing Venmo

I use Venmo in addition to other payment apps, not "instead of".

### "Definitely a must have for distribution of funds"

June 10, 2021

5.0

I love it I know if I buy or sell my money is safe regardless.

Pros

I love the convenience factor. I do a lot of buying and selling and I know I can trust my money to be safe. It's easy and fast and reliable.

Cons

I wish it was easier to put my funds on a different account. Could definitely improve on options for transportation of money.

### "LOVE VENMO"

September 6, 2019

5.0

I love Venmo and will continue to use it. I have even had friends use it because of me.

Pros

I love Venmo! It is so convenient and handy. My friends and I use it all of the time. It makes paying people back so handy.

Cons

I really don't have any complaints about this software. I think it is a little odd that you can see what other people have paid people but its okay.

### "Best Money Sending App Between Friends"

October 21, 2019

5.0

I use Venmo with friends to pay each other fast and accurate due to cash being non-existant any more.

Pros

No cost, free, and everyone uses it. It's the easiest and best way to get small amounts from clients or splitting bills/dinners/drinks with friends.

Cons

There is a credit card processing fee if using that, but that's pretty standard and expected so not really a con.

### "Venmo is the best for businesses"

October 6, 2021

5.0

I love Venmo because when a client pays you there are options to get paid within that same day.

Pros

I love Venmo because it is very convenient to have your clients send you money right away. Most people feel comfortable making a transaction with Venmo, and that also helps small businesses. Some people don't feel comfortable paying with their credit card, and that is where Venmo saves the day.

Cons

There are no cons with Venmo! Maybe the only con is I wish more people would use it!

### "Easy way to send money to friends and family "

December 5, 2019

5.0

Extremely easy to use and set up. Makes sending money a breeze.

Pros

Beat app I have used for easily sending money between friends and family. So much easier than having to pull out cash or send a check.

Cons

Not available to use for business use. Must use PayPal to handle business purposes. Would be easier if they had a goods and service option like PayPal does.

### "Can't imagine life without it"

May 31, 2019

5.0

Venmo has become the new currency for millennials. Splitting a bill at restaurants with big groups has never been easier.

Pros

I love how easy it is to transfer money to friends and co-workers via Venmo. My favorite new feature is the bitmoji integration.

Cons

I don't like that you need to label each transaction (most of the time people don't put real descriptions anyway).

### "The best free money transfer product out there"

October 3, 2019

5.0

Overall this has been a great product. Now that it's owned by PayPal, it is more trusted.

Pros

This product makes it extremely easy to transfer money to friends. It's free, easy to set up, and has not had a security issue ever.

Cons

Transferring money instantly to and from bank accounts costs money, while standard free transfers take days to complete the transaction.

### "Venmo makes banking easy"

September 22, 2020

5.0

Pros

I think Venmo is a great way to send and receive money. It allows you to leave a cute gif or picture with the money and also a note so you have a record of what you sent. It also allows you to request money if someone owes you money which is so convenient . Venmo also asks for end of phone number if you have never exchanged money to eliminate mistakes

Cons

I sometimes find it hard to find people and sometimes people have the same name which makes it tricky. Pictures are not required so it’s hard to know if it’s the right person with no picture

### "Convenient, Secure Platform for Everyday Transactions"

May 29, 2020

4.0

Venmo makes it so easy to make transactions between friends and acquaintances and it is also a secure way to transfer money for purchases or other needs to people you may not know. I have used Venmo to transfer money to co-workers for a baby shower, to receive money from a friend for groceries I picked up for her, from family for a meal we shared, and to pay and receive money for items purchased and sold on Facebook Marketplace. Venmo has made these transactions both convenient and secure.

Pros

The best feature of Venmo is the ability to verify whom you are paying. I have used Venmo to make purchases over Facebook Marketplace and have been able to easily confirm that my payment was going to the right person.

Cons

There was one time when I had difficulty using the app. I'm not sure what went wrong. I got a message saying that it wouldn't connect to my bank. I wasn't sure if I should contact the bank or Venmo. There was no information about whom to contact or how, just that the transaction would not process. I was able to arrange to pay the individual with cash, but it did put me in a pinch in the moment. Clearer instructions on how to resolve the issue would have been helpful.
