## Reviews

### "Venmo - Mobile Payment Service" — 5.0/5

> **Nathaniel** | *8 April 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like about Venmo is that it is free to use and is getting more and more widely accepted as a form of payment in both private and public transactions.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't use the feature, but the instant transfer of funds to your linked account costs money. To me, the standard transfer is just fine and costs me nothing, so that is what I always use to transfer funds from my Venmo account back to my linked bank account.
> 
> To those who do not carry much cash on them, if at all, Venmo is a great option to be able to pay for transactions without having the cash handy. Almost everyone in my personal life that I deal with has a Venmo account, which makes sending and receiving payments a breeze.

### "Venmo Takes a Big Leap \!" — 5.0/5

> **Kristen** | *17 April 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I definitely like the fact that it has convenience just like PayPal I know their sister companies The only thing about venmo is it's very picky about what card you're able to add to it
> 
> **Cons**: I can say the only thing that I didn't like about venmo was the fact that certain cards weren't allowed like let's say I have a MasterCard and I want to add money to my venmo well sometimes venmo doesn't take said card so that's when my only difficulties
> 
> I've actually had a fantastic overall view with venmo because I've actually had my venmo card a few times and I was actually able to dispute the charges I was very surprised it's convenient it's a lot like cash app but better more protection

### "Very easily hacked." — 1.0/5

> **Arianna** | *2 May 2025* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use. Quick transfer and tap to pay. Designing your own card.
> 
> **Cons**: I received a text regarding fraud alert. I replied fraud. They still let 3 charges go through. I called right away. The guy says that I will have to wait until the charges are processed and not in the pending state. It will be 3 days before I receive an email on their decision. 3 days come around I call back the lady says that there is nothing regarding me calling 3 days ago. The first guy never even made a claim. So she makes the claim. Again tells me I will receive an email. At 4:00 am. I received an email stating that my claim was denied and that they can not prove it was fraudulent charges. Needless to say it totaled out to be $1200. The charges were from a hardware store in Paris. I live in Mississippi. Figure that one out.
> 
> Great until you get hacked. I think it's just another company out here scamming people to make money.

### "Instant payments of smaller visa transactions." — 5.0/5

> **Brian** | *25 December 2025* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I enjoy the speed of payment and the fact that clients can send money with their phones without taking much time to set up.
> 
> **Cons**: I do not like the restricted business functionality and the random payment flag that make it not as reliable with bigger or more serious client transactions.
> 
> Venmo has proven helpful in gathering smaller consultations fees within a short time, particularly when customers desire a recognized, mobile-first experience to make payments without any forms.

### "Easiest, fastest way to pay for anything, to anyone\!\!" — 5.0/5

> **Renee** | *5 February 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Venmo is my go to app to send or receive money for literally anything\! I can send money to my kids or receive money for local sales from Facebook marketplace. When I'm splitting the tab with a friend.. it's simple \&amp; convenient. I love the fact the Venmo is literally INSTANT. There no wait time for the transfer so there's no waiting around for the money to hit your bank. Venmo doesn't charge anything for transferring between accounts which is awesome. And my Venmo debit card works anywhere that takes visa which is also convenient. Also you can send a penny \&amp; all the way up to thousands of dollars in one transaction at no charge. Zm
> 
> **Cons**: You are limited to the number of cards you can add to your Venmo account during a 6 month period which for me was sort of inconvenient because I receive gift cards through my work for incentives \&amp; awards. However I can just add these to my Apple Pay \&amp; use them that way or virtually so it's truly not that big of a deal.
> 
> I recommend Venmo to all of my friends and family. In fact, many of them have downloaded the Venmo app specifically because I asked them to in order to exchange money between us. I couldn't be more happy with Venmo and the fact that it does not charge as long as you're using your debit card or you have the money in your Venmo account. You can pay with Venmo anywhere that takes Visa which is very convenient. Plus, my favorite thing… I got to choose the color of my card which of course I chose pink and I love it\!\!
