About Venmo
Mobile-based social commerce platform that enables users to carry out money transmission across all types of purchases.
I like the ease and rapidity with which Venmo makes it possible to send and receive money, especially for business purposes.
Also, there really are no payment protections, so if you send money to the wrong person (which sometimes through no fault of your own), you can be "up a creek" (so to speak).

Easy, Convinient Payments
Comments: I use venmo to easily pay others when card or cash is not available/accepted. I am able to leave a note, track previous payments, and make a payment private/public. I feel that Venmo is safe, convenient, and has developed a new way for people to pay.
Pros:
I like the feed where I can see others who have paid me/others close to me. I like the option to have an immediate payout. I like the safety feature to confirm the final digits of a phone number. I like the ability to have a profile picture for others and myself to confirm who we are paying.
Cons:
I would like to be able to first be able to confirm/accept payments from others. I would also like to be able to transfer venmo payments in my venmo account to others via payment, rather than having to transfer it to my bank account before paying.

Venmo, it's a great app!
Comments: Overall, Venmo is a great app, especially for an app that is free. I have had little to no issues while using Venmo for the many years that I have and I only have great words to say about it!
Pros:
I like that Venmo makes it super easy to collect payments from customers, and refund them at the same time. I've never used a platform that also makes it easier to track payments.
Cons:
The user design is not super intuitive, which can cause issues at times, but otherwise I have had no issues!

I always get turned around trying to find new contacts. It's an older generation thing!
Must Use App
Comments: I have had a great overall experience using Venmo so far.
Pros:
What I like about Venmo, the most is being able to send and receive Money instantly.
Cons:
sometimes the cards that you have stored don’t work so you have to use it directly .
A Reliable Way of Digital Pay
Comments: Overall the experience is generally positive, and I appreciate Venmo for it's convenience and reliability.
Pros:
I liked the ease of use, convenient setup, and its use as an alternative to a bank.
Cons:
That the option for speedier transactions costs some extra money. In some cases, sometimes sending money is time-sensitive and Venmo, at best, can only fulfill a transaction in 2-3 business days under normal circumstances. It's also sometimes hard to find my friends on the app.
Quickly Sends Money Anywhere for a small fee
Comments: Venmo sends money from my bank accounts and links to cashapp and paypal easily. Other than the fact they charge to send money within minutes its well worth the small fee.
Pros:
I like using Venmo to send money to my employees because it gives me monthly statements and sends it within minutes.
Cons:
I dont like the fact you have to pay to get your money sent within minutes.
Must use app for anyone with a smartphone
Comments: I used it for so long as has been integral for most of my daily transactions
Pros:
Very easy to transfer money without hassle or special thought
Cons:
I wish sometimes it was clearer with the transfer interface but it worked well
Absolutely love this app
Comments: My experience has been absolutely on point and amazing I've never once had a bad experience with them the customer support system is amazing they are always so very knowledgeable and helpful and the easy to use convenient app helps you and guide you with anything you may need to do with them
Pros:
I love the fact of the easy convenient way of using venmo as well as the layout of the app itself everything is pretty self-explanatory and if you don't know or can't figure it out they have an amazing customer service team that is right there by your side every step of the way
Cons:
I have nothing that I don't like about venmo I've always had great experiences with them for the almost 4 years I've been using them

A P2P must have
Comments: Venmo is a must have. It's more safe and secure than cash app and customer service is great!
Pros:
Venmo is very secure. I feel safe and at ease anytime that I use venmo. Plus I can send money to my people without the hassle.
Cons:
There's only one thing that upset me. I lost all the info to my old account and opened a new one and they offer 10$ when you open one but since I had one before I wasn't allowed to get it.
Fast Funds
Comments: I appreciate having Venmo as an option for my clients to pay with. It allows me to be paid quickly and I like that i have the option of recieving funds imediatly (for a fee) or in a couple days. More often than not it's available next day.
Pros:
This is a very accesable platform that many of my clients use. It's efficient and easy to use.
Cons:
I would prefer if the default wasn't to make transactions public. I'm not sure why that's a feature at all.
Friends and Family Payment
Comments: My overall experience with Venmo has been decent. It is good at some things and bad at others. Venmo does not feel as secure as other payment sites. Their buyer protection is difficult to use. Customer service is hard to get ahold of if you ever have any trouble. They like to send you a copy-and-paste reply each time you contact them.
Pros:
Venmo is another decent payment app. It is more focused on sending payments between friends and family. You can set up direct deposit so if you don't trust banks, you can use Venmo to get paid for your job. I like that you can also apply for a Venmo debit card so you can easily pay for items at stores.
Cons:
Venmo is owned by PayPal. One con is they don't allow you to send money from Venmo to someone's Paypal. If you have a friend that only uses PayPal, you are not able to send money to that friend, using your Venmo balance. Venmo also allows you to buy and sell cryptocurrency, but when you go to sell any, it takes close to a week to verify the transaction. Other sites do this instantly, no matter how much you are selling.
Rancho Physical Therapy
Comments: I love using Venmo and will always use it weekly for anything
Pros:
I love how easy and fast it is to transfer money over to someone else or if someone gives me money and I can transfer within seconds to my bank account. When working at my other job my coworkers and I would always door dash and were constantly Venmoing each other back and forth, but it was always so fast and easy
Cons:
There is only one thing I don't like about Venmo and it would be the fee it has, if I need or want to do an instant transfer
