    It's awesome. Good for splitting things up when you are with a group or paying someone quickly. You have to login to Paypal etc. Ain't nobody got time for that. For goodness sakes don't send a check.

    A couple brilliant college kids put signs up on Gameday that said Mom send Beer Money. At the bottom was there Venmo handle. They were flooded with random people sending them a dollar or two for beer.

    It's owned by PayPal. Money doesn't clear right away, so you need to wait 24 hours of your using it to transact business with a stranger. Otherwise they can cancel the transaction after you hand over the goods and they drive away never to be seen again.

    I was going to say that I pretty much use this exclusively with friends. I would use PayPal for any goods/service transactions.

    Increases the likelihood of someone paying you for random things vs hey I will pay you later. Use it to split boat gas when fishing, and anytime someone needs something from the store.

    Yep this is the main reason to use it. I wouldn't use it for transaction with a stranger. The buddy that always says "I will get you back" this is the answer.

    Had my account hacked using it about a year ago. My bank investigated it and traced it back to Venmo. Took me about 2 months to get all my money back and all my bank drafts changed. Got paid the day I went to freeze my account and by the time the bank opened and I got up there, the person had already drained my account again.

    Whats the difference in this and paypal, you just pay a company / bill using Venmo and everyone contributes?

    I use paypal regularly and even between friends and never had an issue.

    Venmo is owned by PayPal. PayPal screwed me years ago. I refuse to use it. Love Venmo.

    So you refuse to use Paypal because they screwed you years ago, but you love a company that is owned by Paypal?
