Just one thing That I need....

It is very convenient and can be used on any website. The platform is simple and provides easy access for clients and friends. Additionally, there are no fees for transfers that take 1-3 days. However, my experience is not 100% satisfactory due to the issue with the Setmore website settings. If there were a way to resolve this, my satisfaction would be complete.

Pros

It is very convenient and can be used on any website. The platform is simple and provides easy access for clients and friends. Additionally, there are no fees for transfers that take 1-3 days.

Cons

One drawback I've encountered is that while I use Venmo on various websites for class bookings and payments, Venmo itself cannot process payments directly. I have to connect it to PayPal, which complicates the setup. Additionally, I would prefer to display only Venmo as a payment option on the Setmore website, but this isn't allowed due to Venmo being linked to PayPal.

Im a happy and satisfied user. I would reccommend it to anyone I know. If you're into cashless transaction, Venmo is the way to
go.

Pros

convenient and so much better than carrying cash with you. You can use Venmo to pay any transactions. Your information is secured without any data breach.

Cons

sometimes there are down time using this app, but it rarely happens. You will get notified if there are any maintenance happening.

My overall experience with Venmo good except for moving bunny from my checking to Venmo that I will never do again overall when I’m working up pop-up and people are paying me and I’m using my Venmo that’s wonderful.

Pros

QR code for scanning made it much easier for funds to be transferred specially when you’re at a busy pop-up.

Cons

I found out the hard way depositing $300 did not get cleared from my own bank Working days. Which strap me for cash for three days. And Venmo was no help on getting the money cleared..

Venmo is an easy way for customers and clients to pay me without having to involve a card reader. It’s another option for clients to tip as well, without having to have cash on them, meaning I can get the full amount of the tip.

Pros

I like that you can easily provide your personal QR code for customers to link to and pay you.

Cons

I wish there was a free feature for businesses to add money to their Venmo accounts without having to sign up for the credit card.

Overall, Venmo is a great app, especially for an app that is free. I have had little to no issues while using Venmo for the many years that I have and I only have great words to say about it!

Pros

I like that Venmo makes it super easy to collect payments from customers, and refund them at the same time. I've never used a platform that also makes it easier to track payments.

Cons

The user design is not super intuitive, which can cause issues at times, but otherwise I have had no issues!

The price point of Venmo could not have been beaten, it is just so much cheaper and without fees.

Overall highly positive. Would recommend to anyone in need of a safe and convenient cash transfer and Point of Sale app.

Pros

Implementation was incredibly easy and most of my staff (and clients) are already familiar with the application. The credibility of any financial app is critical, so the security and financial insurance Venmo provides is what made the deal for my team.

Cons

There is no easy-to-use air-touch feature where two adjacent phones can automatically link for payment. However, this would just be a nice ancillary benefit and is not critical.

Venmo sends money from my bank accounts and links to cashapp and paypal easily. Other than the fact they charge to send money within minutes its well worth the small fee.

Cons

I have had only good experiences thus far. I do e-commerce as a side hustle and prefer Venmo to other forms of payment because it's simple to use, it's been a trustworthy program, and I get instant notifications when I am paid.

Pros

I love having Venmo as an option as opposed to exchanging cash and checks. With Venmo, money is accepted and then with a few clicks, you can have it transferring to your bank account. The turnaround time for deposit is quick and you do have the option to expedite it. It saves me trips to the bank and saves me having to exchange money in hand.

Cons

I have heard that there are some individuals attempting to scam others on the platform which makes me a little less confident in its overall operation. Additionally, if you accidentally send to the wrong individual, there's no recourse that I'm aware of except their mercy in refunding your money. So the responsibility is on you to verify that you are sending to the correct individual.

Easy and More Secure Payment App but Check Privacy Settings

Reviewed on 04/05/2024

Pros

I feel much more comfortable using Venmo than other payment apps like CashApp. I feel my financial information is secure (however, read my Cons list as well). Also, making a payment is very easy. Overall, the app is very user-friendly and easy to use.

Cons

Personally, I wish there wasn't a fee to use a credit card for payments. Also, I think there is a lack of data security in that folks probably don't realize that their payments are being broadcast in a social media-like feed that all can see when they log onto the app. I can understand the fun in seeing what people are purchasing, but for others, they may be stunned to realize that they needed to change their Default Privacy to Private or else the entire internet can see what they are spending their money on. Also, there are people in my Venmo "social" feed I don't even know and am not even friends with.

Nothing too out of the ordinary just to go to app whenever in need of a mobile bank that can store your money.

Pros

Not too much to add to this one.Just like all the other mobile banking apps at offers your mobile bank transfers at cost if you want it immediately as well.As what I could tell being accepted between all of my banks. Plan to use it more.

Cons

No issues really other than the fact that you or I guess I have had troubles connecting with my paypal which is odd because its integrated to do it.
