Businesses are able to generate exposure for the brand as users share their purchases on the Venmo feed and are also able to offer a new social currency to a mobile-first audience. The solution enables users to make payments by linking their debit cards or bank accounts directly via the app, or by transferring the money stored within their account. Besides initiating payments, consumers can receive and send payments from contacts and friends by selecting a @username, contact's name, email or phone number. All transfers can be cashed our immediately to a bank account or stored as a Venmo balance for use at a later time. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 9302 users.

It's simple for personal use and has the extra aspect of business use. > > **Cons**: There is not one thing except that I have been locked out of my account for a while now and still haven't been allowed to get back into it. > > Overall my experience has been great except for the being locked out part of it. Would definitely recommend it to others ----- ### "Good application to easily send and receive payments but be cautious when using." — 4.0/5 > **Victoria** | *3 December 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have used Venmo to aid with money transactions for the past 3-5 years. Venmo is free to use however if you want to transfer your money quickly you have to pay a small fee. I have many small businesses and side hustles and Venmo is very easy to use with minimal to no set up or commitment required. > > **Cons**: Venmo allows you to complete payments via credit/debit card or straight from your bank account. The main thing that I do not like about Venmo is that there is minimal security to protect you if you do not receive the good that you pay for, so I only use this application if I have the item in hand. I have used Venmo's customer support system 2 times in order to attempt to cancel payments 1 that was accidentally sent to the wrong person and another that I completed a payment and did not receive my product. Both times I reached out to customer support they were quick to respond however not very helpful when attempting to get my money back. > > Overall I think Venmo is a very quick and easy application to use when wanting to send and receive money however I would just be wary when using this to pay for products or goods when you do not have the items in hand. ----- ### "Its Gets the Job Done" — 4.0/5 > **Essence** | *23 March 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that everyone (mostly) I know has it and its so easy to use. I do feel more secure using it than other apps > > **Cons**: I am completely scared of any data breaches or some information being taken in this day of age. Don't like putting account in there ----- ### "There's no competent support at Venmo" — 1.0/5 > **Robin** | *4 September 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I used to like the ability to send and receive money, but it's not worth it after what we experienced. > > **Cons**: Support. They have the worst support I have ever experienced. The chat support in the app and on the website instructs you to click on options that are not there. Chat support was minimal and not helpful. Telephone support was equally terrible. In addition to long wait times, my son was instructed to supply Venmo with a picture of a government ID and then him holding the ID. He was then told that he was not looking at them (which he was looking at the camera) and then was told he would need another ID. He is 18. He has a drivers' license. He asked what other ID do they expect him to have? They had no answer for him. He was told his case was being moved to a supervisor and then he suspended his account (which is ridiculous since the entire reason for support was that his phone number changed and he hasn't been able to access his account). It is deeply frustrating as to the level of incompetence, especially since there is money in his venmo account that he cannot access. > > Horrific. The support is terrible for a company in this day and age. Both outdated support options on the App and the website and then horrific support through their customer support phone line. Horrible Horrible Horrible ----- ### "Easy to take payments\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kate** | *25 April 2026* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's super easy to take payments whereever you are, online, in person, and have others in the business take payments on your behalf. Really happy with Venmo. > > **Cons**: It's probably a me thing but the dashboard/menu can be confusing at times and I feel like it should be easier to see your balance and payments as standard when using the app and website rather than searching for it in the menu. > > Really happy with our experience of Venmo. Our business doesn't need to use it every day but for times when we need to take payments on the go or last minute and don't want to use Stripe it's been fantastic\! ----- Page: 1 / 373\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/317580/venmo?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/317580/venmo) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
