Venmo App Reviews

Best app ever

Couldn’t be more pleased to discover Venmo. So easy to pay and revive funds from friends/family.

It’s ight

Accidentally added my fathers card to my account, while trying to set-up account for him. I realized my mistake and immediately deleted it then attempted to add the card to the correct account, however, I was notified the card would need to be "unattached" from the first account it was associate with. Subsequently, my account was "temporarily frozen". I was asked to send a copy of my ID, the credit card, and bank statement. Explained I had none of this (as the information and card they requested information for was my fathers and I was trying to set up his account). I was then asked for the aforementioned items for all THREE funding sources I have. ("Please reply here with a photo of your government-issued identification information as well as statements for the three funding sources on your Venmo account.") I received this response twice although I asked different questions. Ultimately, it seemed sketchy, so I said I preferred to terminate my entire account (that Ive had for many months and no issues, mind you). Again, I am emailed and told I would have to prove my identity with three sets of information to CANCEL the account. 1. Asked to cancel the account: While we appreciate your interest in using Venmo, we are unable to confirm that you have direct access to the financial instruments on file with your Venmo account. 2. Explained the card was added by accident: Thanks for your response. Adding a card in another users name or belonging to another person is in express violation of our User Agreement. As such we will be unable to release it for your continued use. The app was nice until this excessive process for something very simple (release a card from my account so I DONT use it). Best part is I have $18 in the account that is, at this point, a loss.

Quick, Fast & Easy.

Super convenient minus the fact that the money doesn’t get pulled from your account until the recipient decides to withdraw it for deposit, which means you can get a false sense of security when it comes to how much money is in your bank account. Also takes forever for money to process. Facebook messenger etc. are instant.

I so appreciate how easy and efficient it is to transfer funds via Venmo! I highly recommend it!

Best app ?

I enjoy and trust this app! Have been using it for a while now and feel very secure with accounts and have not had any issues to date.

Can’t remember the last time I used an ATM machine. I love this app.

Great app plz used it thanks~

Makes life more efficient!

Venmo is my preferred method for transferring funds between friends, family, and strangers on Craigslist. Love the lack of fees when paying with my checking account. I only wish it was easier to switch the checking account I’m paying from on a per transaction basis.

And it just works!

Made transferring money very simple and effortless. Solves lots of life’s little money issues. Very easy to use intuitive interface. Use it all the time now.

Could not setup/login unless allowing app to first have access to ALL my contacts. Was impossible to get around for initial setup. THANKS FOR RESPECTING OUR PRIVACY. Pretty shady!

App asked to access my contacts so i could check off the person I wanted to invite. Then it sent requests to everyone Ive every known. Total invasion of privacy, and so embarrassing.

Yes

Recently involved in a situation where a fraudulent $1100 transaction was withdrawn. Venmo customer service was non-existent and noncooperative while attempting to collect information the bank needed. The bank acknowledges that Venmo is a high risk and that they often deal with fraud for users of this app. Venmo is an identity theft/fraud risk until Venmo’s introduces better security.

Love the ability to send straight from imessages! Better than apple pay cash
