Lending Specialist Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/2/2021 "Fast and simple way to make payments and accounts" 4/5 What do you like best about Venmo?

A useful new tool in certain business, it is used primarily to collect payments to consumers and to guarantee certain transactions to certain suppliers.

The advantages are excellent and healthy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Business Owner Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/2/2020 "Venmo is great for instant money transfers" 5/5 What do you like best about Venmo? I absolutely love Venmo. I use it nearly every single day whether it is friends, family, or business needs. One of the advantages Venmo has over other software like PayPal is that it offers free transfers between users. This is an attractive feature because nobody wants to have to pay a fee every time money is sent or received. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Venmo? One thing that bothers me about Venmo is that funds can be easily lost or accidentally sent with no money-back guarantee. Some other applications like PayPal offer a goods and services payment method where funds can be replaced if the sale was canceled or invalid. Venmo should add this feature.
