Wouldn’t help with fraud

Contacted Venmo regarding a compromised account with someone trying to get 8888.88 out of my account. Immediately contacted them and they still have me owing that and restricted my account. Even sent all the screenshots of the fraud. Worst customer service if I could give 0 stars I would.
They did nothing.
Called my bank they had to freeze my account.

Sucks

Balls

Terrible security & support!

I had over $1000 stolen from my Venmo balance from an account hacker. Support was impossible to get a hold of a human, they sent me in an endless loop. Beware of keeping money in Venmo it is not secure! Now my account is suspended and I cannot access my money!

It's just another greedy bank.

Venmo is operated by Synchrony Bank. Pause for a moment and consider - is 23, 24 percent interest anything but greedy? You decide. While you're deciding, look up "usury" if you don't already know what it means.

Great

It’s so cool and it would be even better if I randomly got 20$ from Venmo

Following Venmo guidance my account is now identified with “problems with account need to add new.”

Request account reactivated as I have never had issues previous to following your IA advise! My acct. has been in good standing since opened for several years!

Help

Can’t get it to open

Very simple to use application and yet very powerful

Very simple to use application and yet very powerful

Maybe spend less time on your stupid bug fix notes being quirky and actually fix the bugs

Cant link bank account

Worst Customer Swrvice

I can’t even talk to a real person on the phone anymore. I can’t get into the app because it says “sorry something went wrong”. I tried everything to fix it with no avail. So when I can’t get into the account I have to go through a friends phone to talk to any customer service person which they say “you have to email our service team” which I did and the email said if you need help please check the website, also this email is left unchecked. Stupid mf

Human help!

Honestly, there needs to be a way to contact a human. The chat bot options are worthless and very frustrating. U all gotta step it up!

Constant errors

I’ve encountered errors nearly every step of the way while signing up and setting up my account. This is the most pathetic app experience I’ve ever had.

Customer Seevice

They only have AI customer service for chats and pre recorded voice messages. Trying to get any support or answers is infuriating.

Payment

Absolutely the worst costume service on an app I’ve ever dealt with. Told something different by each person I and the other person involved in the transaction spoke with. Nothing resolved or even attempted to be resolved.

Customer Service

1) Customer service is practically non existence. Venmo is obviously not interested in making themselves available to help their own customers.
2) I make a large transfer to Venmo on Feb 13…where is it? It’s been a week that you’ve had my money and it’s nowhere to be found. Zelle is sooo much better. Closing my account as soon as I get my money back.

Too invasive

The system is set up to be too dependent on Venmo support and Venmo support is impossible to get someone live

Added money to Venmo still not available

Would give it a negative star if able. Added money to Venmo but after 7 days transaction is still pending. Money taken out of bank account right away but not available after a whole week.
