Too Much Personal Information Required
Venmo requires access to your contacts, Facebook friends, requests a photo, etc. etc. They claim that you can later change your privacy settings, but the app makes you allow access to contacts during setup. The default setting for payments is ”public”, so the entire world can see who you paid and why. This setting is not obvious at first. The last straw was when Venmo required me to enter my login information for my bank after I’d already given Venmo my routing and account numbers. If Venmo gets hacked, someone can clean out all my accounts!
I can pay my taxes without giving this much information to the government!
