Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Using the Venmo platform has become something too common for us due to the great stability it has provided when establishing direct payments both for my employees within my company and for people outside my company. The first thing I liked about Venmo is the validation of payments, I love being able to make all kinds of payments to any Venmo account and that the money is immediately available in the account to which I sent the money, this is fantastic, there are no money restrictions on the transactions I have made for more than 2 years that I have been using it. Another thing I love about Venmo is that it provides me with a debit card, this feature is excellent since it is a digital wallet, it allows me to manage my money more easily and pay anywhere using the debit card provided by Venmo, a very secure card that is available for all accounts within the platform. I also love that Venmo allows you to send custom payments, whether it be with special messages or special emojis, this is fantastic because it allows me to send much more interactive payments, not just simple payments, but special payments with special messages. Venmo has also provided me with a nice transfer of assets to or from my bank account, I love that I can link my bank account on this platform and make withdrawals from my bank and have the money available in minutes in my wallet, I like this because there are digital wallet platforms similar to Venmo that do not provide this fast deposit processing.
  • It makes splitting the cost of items seamless, removes the need to carry cash, and helps small businesses sell their products without the hefty fees of competitors.
  • You don't have to carry cash around anymore to pay people. Venmo makes it easy things like restaurant checks with friends.
  • Venmo is the easiest way to borrow and share money with friends and family. I am able to make transactions easily and freely knowing that my money is secure.
  • It's easy to manage trips and activities with friends. One person can book seats together or get the check at a restaurant and then split up the bill later. We use Venmo to manage dozens of different expenses that come up whenever I take a trip with a group.

Cons

  • The main criticism I have regarding Venmo is regarding the user support service within this digital wallet, this support team is not so efficient and that causes users to be unable to resolve the constant concerns they have within the platform. On several occasions I have had some doubts about the payments made and received, and the support team has taken up to more than 2 days to correctly respond to my request, this is something very shocking for me, since I consider that being a wallet platform, they should offer much faster user support and in a shorter response time. Another thing I must criticize is regarding the login system, they have too robust security and this causes me to be unable to access my wallet at any time, I have tried to access my account from a new device and I have completed the two-step verification but it has not let me enter due to a suspicious login. I would like to be able to access my account on a daily basis without any problems, I do not like the robust security system that Venmo is using.
  • If you accidentally select the wrong recipient, there is no way to revoke your payment. I understand the need for this to prevent scams, but their search feature for people does make it easy to accidentally select the wrong person.
  • Venmo is now charging businesses a fee if money is sent to them from clients. There is also a limit of how much money you can send each month.
  • The charges for moving money to the bank instantly can be inconvenient, but I understand.
  • There's no reason for a money transfer app to have many different social features. It seems obtrusive and unnecessary to have a wall to see how friends are sending money back and forth. The ease of use to move money back and forth is enough, it doesn't need to be Facebook.

Pros & Cons from Real Users
