## Reviews

### "Good payments app" — 4.0/5

> **Lexus** | *August 11, 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about Venmo is how quick and convenient it is for sending and receiving money. It makes splitting bills, paying someone back, or sending money to friends really simple without needing cash. I also like that the app is easy to understand and I can quickly see my recent payments and activity
> 
> **Cons**: What I like least about Venmo is that some transfers and features can come with fees, especially when you want your money instantly. I also don’t really care for the social feed aspect because I don’t think other people need to see who I’m sending money to. Overall, Venmo is useful and convenient, but I think it could be a little more private and have fewer fees.

### "Convenient and Easy-to-Use Payment App" — 5.0/5

> **Ethan** | *September 20, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about Venmo is how simple and convenient it is. It’s easy to send and receive money, and the app is straightforward to use without feeling confusing. I think it offers good value for the money, and I like having the option to use a credit card when I need to. The fees are generally reasonable and easy to understand, and Venmo can also be really useful for small businesses or anyone who needs an easy way to accept payments. Customer support has been helpful when I’ve had questions, and although I’ve experienced an occasional glitch or delay, nothing major has gotten in the way of using the app. Overall, Venmo makes payments quick, convenient, and hassle-free.
> 
> **Cons**: The biggest thing I like least about Venmo is that some of the fees can add up, especially when using certain payment methods or transferring money instantly. I’ve also experienced occasional glitches or delays, which can be frustrating when I need a payment to go through quickly. Customer support can sometimes take longer than expected to respond, and I wish there were a little more protection and flexibility when dealing with payment issues or disputes. Overall, Venmo is convenient, but the fees, occasional technical problems, and customer service delays are the main areas I think could be improved.
> 
> Overall, my experience with Venmo has been pretty positive. It’s convenient, easy to use, and makes sending and receiving money quick and simple. I like having different payment options and being able to use Venmo for both personal transactions and small-business payments. There have been a few occasional glitches, fees, and delays with customer support, but they haven’t been enough to outweigh the convenience. Overall, Venmo has been a reliable and useful way to manage everyday payments.

### "Venmo so easy" — 4.0/5

> **julianne** | *June 18, 2026* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Venmo is an easy way to pay and receive payments with family and friends and small business\!  Increasingly used by retailers
>

### "Free and easy to use but security is a concern" — 4.0/5

> **Md** | *August 31, 2026* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is very easy to set it up to transfer fund to and from bank account. Creating an account was very straight-forward for me. I liked how easy I could add friends and family.
> 
> **Cons**: The interface and the size of writing looks oddly bigger. Also, the transaction history is tough to access and see. I do not see any referral bonus system.
> 
> It is free I mean the transfer from and to bank account transactions, but I see that the security is not best there, I heard many complains about getting scammed.

### "Consider only for convenience" — 2.0/5

> **Jessica** | *June 18, 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of tap to charge your customers for small business p.o.s. and the many different methods of how to withdraw the money to whatever card or account you prefer
> 
> **Cons**: When you have a problem with your account , not something you're in control of they'll ask you to verify yourself for them to unrestrict your funds for you to use. I had a situation where it was literally life or death and received donations for redemption of a dog from the pound or they would euthanize him the following day. Well I swear Venmo restricted the account and they have a 3 day waiting period for them to look at the documents you uploaded and they cannot bypass that mark it urgent or speed it up no matter the situation
> 
> It's convenient but I just don't agree with their customer service or the policy for reasons they block you and for his many times they do infact.. it's annoying
