I like that it's easy to use and makes transactions simple. It cuts out a lot of unnecessary steps and makes getting paid simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

I think that it gets confusing with Venmo Personal. And you switch back and forth and it makes it confusing as to if your on your business or personal Venmo. There needs to be a better business layout for the business side. And they

What do you like best about Venmo?

Send and receive money quickly. After receiving money, you can transfer it to your bank for free or for a fee if needed sooner. It's comparable to PayPal but may be easier for some to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

I'm not sure I like to have to note what the money was sent for or received for. I think there is an option to turn that off though, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the security. It is nice to have a 3rd party responsible for keeping accounts secure. Venmo is a trusted name and it makes people feel more comfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that communication and customer service can feel very unpersonal. The responses when trying to get assistance are very generic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

Owned by PayPal, a company I dislike. Also, the transactions are by default public - do you really want everyone seeing to whom you send money? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Venmo?

I just like Venmo, it's indeed easy to access between the two parties. It's a dependable way to put money in the hands of people, a good way to submit payments; all you have to do is unlock your application, set the number, and send. The thing I like the most are the very regular deals and cash incentives. I would want to have the ability to withdraw or deposit money directly through mine financial institution, my cell phone and the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Venmo?

The one thing I just don't like how the older versions share underwriting that I consider should really be deactivated by law. But overall, it was really good program and I didn't have big problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
