Haven’t been able to use my Venmo yet . Step after verification after phone call after phone call and empty promises still can’t use Venmo , add it to Apple Pay or add a bank or debit card . Even Cash App allowed me to do all these things without zero headaches and chime !
I recently had fraudulent charges to my card marked as pending, but one has now gone through. It is totally hacked, and I tried to call the number in question which is listed and got completely put through the ringer on a runaround and then more fraudulent charges put on my account. Venmo was totally unreliable. It’s not linked with PayPal, which is part of the whole stupid AI infrastructure. I am bailing out of this and will use something else from now.
I had to open a second checking account in a different bank when I could no longer receive my Venmo balance into my primary checking. Customer service couldn’t give me a resolution or a reason why. Now, my second account has “lost connection” with my bank for making payments out of the account, I get error messages when I try to reconnect it, and Venmo throws an error when I try to add the debit card for that account. Now I have to wait to transfer balances between banks. TL;DR: I have to have accounts in separate banks to send and receive money and customer service is completely useless.
The customer experience has degraded over the last year as there are frequent push notifications that lead to advertisements and offers.
So I tried to test to see if I could add money through my Bank of America card that did not go through so I called some customer support and they said basically customer support cannot override failed instant transfer so if you enter transferred does not go through, you will have to use standard transfer so I tried that and they also did not go through and the information from the Help center was not that helpful so yeah, don’t you spend Bank of America with this app
I’ve been using Venmo for years, but every time I use this platform, it is a adventure to get and receive money. Every single time I’ve ever used it. There’s always a problem trying to receive money send money. It’s always a hassle. Y’all are better off using Cash app or literally any other platform besides this one
Loaded $1000 over a week ago and it was supposed to be ready in 3 business days. My rent is due and my money is tied up. I did a direct transfer from my bank to Venmo. This should not be happening. It's so hard to get real help with this. I keep being redirected to chat bot which directs me to read more instructions to try. Very frustrating.
i’ve made an account twice because it’s always suspended or frozen or some bs is always happening. you talk with support and they can’t fix it. i’ve used this account for three transactions max before it “froze” it and there’s no quick way of getting the issue handled.

Because the charge was fraudulent, I blocked the $29.99 payment through my bank. Despite this, Venmo still paid the scammer and then attempted to collect the money from me. When I refused to pay for a charge I did not authorize, Venmo froze my account.
This experience was extremely frustrating. I was the victim of fraud, yet I was held responsible and penalized for disputing an unauthorized charge.
