## Reviews

### "Good But PayPal is Faster" — 4.0/5

> **Nava** | *February 22, 2026* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's generally easy to setup and use to get money or send money between people. I especially like being able to just show my QR code to someone instead of having to spell my Venmo name to them.
> 
> **Cons**: Transferring money to my bank account takes too long. Paypal does it much faster so for that reason alone I always choose Paypal over Venmo if I can.
> 
> Overall it's a good experience. I've never had a problem sending or receiving money from Venmo. Everyone has it so it's always available.

### "Good application to easily send and receive payments but be cautious when using." — 4.0/5

> **Victoria** | *December 3, 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.

### "Sneaky sneaky" — 5.0/5

> **Jessica** | *June 7, 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked most about Venmo is the ease of use and visibility. I can see all my friend’s transactions I’m nosy
> 
> **Cons**: I don’t like that my friends can see my transactions with other people. I’m prefer privacy for myself.

### "Not an easy to use app" — 2.0/5

> **Alexis** | *February 9, 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like most that venmo is an option to send money to and from and is easily accessible for anyone at any age.
> 
> **Cons**: It is a bit confusing and something that you will have to get used to before actually sending an receiving money.
> 
> Overall not so good because I had to delete it. It may be easily accessible but it's not easy to operate.

### "Venmo - Easy Payments\!" — 5.0/5

> **Paul** | *March 20, 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: One of the best things about Vennmo is its easy to use payment processing systems for credit card payments. As a small business owner, Venmo is my choice for collecting payments.
> 
> **Cons**: The biggest con with Venmo is that it is sometimes difficult to find a specific person to request or send money to.
> 
> Overall, Venmo is my preferred choice for collecting and sending payments to clients and vendors. With low fees and top notch customer support, it is an excellent choice for your business and personal needs.
