Yes, It's great. It's owned by PayPal so they have experiance with mobile money. I see a lot of comments about security, but phones are pretty secure these days. You can set a phone to use a findger print or pass code. I have debit and credit cards anyone can use right away if they find them as there is no auth on them. Seems safer to me to use something with an auth barrier to entry.

ROFL I love this thread. Literally, everyone I know in California uses Venmo. It's far more useful than my chase app and much easier to use.

Yes, and yes.  Started because it's a ridiculously convenient way to pay for dining out with a group (one person pays, everyone else venmos there on the spot).  Now, I use it for transferring to just about everyone I know.

 

And I believe paypal purchased them, so the security should be about as good as it can get.

Yes, Dorie Dillard! We kept my youngest son on our phone plan (much cheaper than him getting his own) and instead of him giving us a check each month, we use Venmo. He can deposit directly into our account there. Easy-peasy!

One of the members of my YPN committee used it last year.  I'm not a huge fan of that type of app.  I still prefer to just pay someone in cash.  Plus, as Joe Pryor stated, many banks offer this service and it has more security.
