MS Mark S. Senior Account Manager Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/25/2025 "The fastest and easiest way to send money to friends, period." 5/5 What do you like best about Venmo? The unmatched ease and speed of use for sending money to friends and family is the best feature. The social feed aspect and the fact that almost everyone I know uses it makes splitting bills, paying rent, and managing group expenses frictionless. It is the definitive P2P standard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Venmo? The main downside is the lack of robust fraud and error protection compared to a bank, and the 3% fee for sending money via a credit card. Also, the public social feed can be an annoyance, and the customer support options for account disputes are often difficult and slow to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Venmo solving and how is that benefiting you? Venmo fundamentally solves the problem of debt management among friends and informal group payments without the hassle of cash or bank transfers. Benefit: I benefit from instant payment finality and elimination of IOUs, which makes personal and small-group finance simple. The platform's ease of use and ubiquity saves me time when settling up shared costs for things like travel, dinner, or household bills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I also wish the security and privacy settings were more customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Venmo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Venmo may be convenient for casual peer-to-peer payments, but if you're depending on it for business income, think twice. When something goes wrong, you're entirely on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Venmo? Very bad experience with Venmo as a seller. While the app works fine as a buyer, sellers beware! I maintained two Venmo accounts - one personal and one for business - both managed through a single app. Without warning, the Venmo app on my iPhone started crashing repeatedly and became completely unusable. I spent hours attempting every published troubleshooting step with no success. When I tried reaching customer support, I discovered an absurd catch-22: phone support never connects you to a live person, and you're constantly redirected to their help center, which is only accessible through chat... in the app. The same app that wasn't working! It's impossible to get actual help when you need it most. The real impact? Because of this app failure and complete lack of accessible customer support, I lost income as a seller and suffered actual financial losses. This is unacceptable for a payment platform that businesses rely on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Venmo solving and how is that benefiting you? No action!
