## Reviews

### "Bravo Venmo\!" — 5.0/5

> **Trinidad** | *10 February 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Venmo is a very intuitive and easy-to-use product and service. The app is well designed and very user-friendly. I use Venmo at least a few times a week.
> 
> **Cons**: The only thing I don't like about Venmo is the percentage taken when transferring funds to a bank account for withdrawal. I feel it's a little high compared to similar apps and services.
> 
> My overall experience with Venmo has been extremely positive and I use it quite frequently. I feel Venmo is one of the best financial apps of this kind.

### "Great asset for parents of college students." — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *31 March 2026* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I started using Venmo to send my college student kids money. I sent my daughter a card in the mail with cash one time and it was stolen. Venmo solved this problem and it was very easy to use and made it easy to send them money when they needed it.
> 
> **Cons**: I do worry when I'm sending $ that it is going to the correct place. I have never had an issue though.
> 
> It has been great. I can buy items on Market place, pay my hairstylist, and send $ to my adult children for their birthdays etc.

### "Not an easy to use app" — 2.0/5

> **Alexis** | *09 February 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.

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

> **Victoria** | *03 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.

> 
> **Pros**: This is a great way to send payments hassle free\! It even has the option to turn on a service to protect your funds. So easy to use\!
> 
> **Cons**: It does take 1-3 business days to retrieve your funds from your account without a fee. However, it normally appears the next business for me.
> 
> I love using Venmo\! It is a great option when it comes to mobile payments. So user friendly and lots of options available on the app.
