"Convenient Payments with Room for Improvement"
5/5
What do you like best about Venmo?

I like that I can accept payments through Venmo because people prefer using it. I also appreciate how I can move money very easily from Venmo to PayPal without any cost. Setting up Venmo was very easy, just like other payment apps, and took only a few minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

The number one thing is, it's not too good at moving money to other accounts like Cash App when you try to move it, it says it isn't accepted, but then in PayPal it is. Venmo has limitations that PayPal doesn’t when it comes to making payments. It'd be better if it accepted more ways and pretty much just be identical to PayPal. Another way to improve would be to offer an invoicing type of service because when people say 'can I Venmo you?', I'd rather just be able to send them an invoice or a link instead of saying to look me up, making it easier to get it right in front of them.

"Effortless Transfers, Full Security"
5/5
What do you like best about Venmo?

I use Venmo to transfer and receive money. Venmo allows me to electronically pay for things when I don't have cash, which is really convenient. I like the ease of use, and setting it up was very easy. I enjoy the security of it, since I've never had any issues with my accounts getting hacked or anything like that. I also appreciate that you have the option to do a 3-day transfer without being charged a fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

I have no complaints. I've been using it for about 7 years and have never had an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Convenient, No-fee Transfers with Instant Payments."
5/5
What do you like best about Venmo?

It’s convenient and fairly ubiquitous, so I can use it often. I mainly use it to send money to my family members, but I also use it for business dealings (for example, I pay my accountant using Venmo). It feels confidential, and there are no fees. It’s easy to use both on my Galaxy and on the web. Transfers are instantaneous, and the money is automatically deducted from my bank account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

I don't love the fact that you can see what other people have used it for. I don't use that feature (i.e., I make my dealings private), but I don't care so much about seeing what others are doing with their money. This is only a minor complaint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Payments, Needs Enhanced Security"
5/5
What do you like best about Venmo?

I like how Venmo allows me to send money instantly, which is very convenient and eliminates the need to go to the ATM, especially since not all banks are in every state. I also enjoy the feature that lets me request money to set reminders for friends to pay equally for all events on a trip. This makes awkward money situations super easy, without needing to ask about splitting the bill or having in-depth conversations. Additionally, the initial setup of Venmo was extremely easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

I think Venmo could really improve by having better fraud and scam protection. Impersonation can still happen, and I suggest Venmo should require ID verification for every profile to ensure it's really who they say they are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great to use, quick easy transfers and safe and secure"
5/5
What do you like best about Venmo?

The best and easiest way to move money- whether paying someone or receiving a payment, fast and easy. It's free and integrates easily with banking and checking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

Not everyone has access to it- you need a smartphone or tablet and an account to download it. Folks might be scared off by linking bank accounts and not trust the security features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Client Payments with Venmo"
5/5
What do you like best about Venmo?

I like using Venmo for taking client payments because it makes payment options simple. I appreciate how it allows easy, quick payment on the spot. It's great that most people use Venmo, so having it as an option is really beneficial. I also find the 'charge' feature valuable, and the initial setup was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

Nothing, it is a great platform. Convenient and quick Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Fast & Mostly Hassle-Free"
5/5
What do you like best about Venmo?

Venmo makes sending and receiving my money very easily. It’s perfect for when I’m buying small items or making sales for my art. What I like best is how quick and user-friendly it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

What I don’t love is the occasional delay when transferring to my bank and those sneaky instant transfer fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Convenient Money Transfers, Entertaining Features"
4/5
What do you like best about Venmo?

I kind of like the notification feed because it helped me discover one of my exes was cheating on me. It's more entertaining, and obviously, the key feature of Venmo is to send money back and forth, which is the best part. The setup was very easy, and I've used Venmo for sending and receiving money from friends and family, as well as paying small businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

Honestly, I just typically am more drawn to Zelle because there is no fees associated with transferring money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Venmo Revolutionizes Payments and Makes Splitting Bills Effortless"
5/5
What do you like best about Venmo?

Venmo is an absolute game-changer. From splitting a check at a restaurant, to collecting money for any of my daughter's sporting events, collecting payment for her Girl Scout cookies, dividing up bills with my significant other - just an incredible product that has revolutionized the way we pay folks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

Privacy concerns, I try to keep all of my payments private in the settings, but it's weird how your network is aware of what you are buying - whether it be that Pizza that violated your diet or something more nefarious like what was going on with Tyler Skaggs and the Angels. I wouldn't use it for large transfers - like if I was buying a house lol - but for small payments between friends, family - even strangers at a Garage sale, I like it.

I like how quick and simple Venmo makes sending and receiving money. It is easy to use and convenient for everyday payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

I don’t like that Venmo is mostly limited to the US. It would be a lot more useful if it worked internationally as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
