Is venmo the hotness everywhere, or is this just an NYC thing? We venmo everything.

  Venmo is owned by PayPal

  Venmo was all anyone I know used at college in Indiana and seems pretty popular in Seattle too

  Nope, it's an everyone young people under 25 (or so) thing. The payments holy trinity is Venmo, Tab, and Splitwise. Tab is for splitting specific checks with easy itemization and multi-person selection + easy tip calculations, connects with Venmo. Mobile app only. Splitwise is great for running tabs, traveling in groups, or complex splits. Keeps track of who paid and who split and even simplifies to the fewest number of payments, of course also done by Venmo. Great desktop site with a good mobile app as well. The only thing I'm waiting for is to import a Tab bill into Splitwise!

    I live in NYC and have never used Venmo before (and am over 25). It is just cash, credit or checks (ugh) for me.

      How do you split a check at a restaurant with a group?
      • AznHisoka 9y ago
        I usually just pay it all myself, or someone volunteers to do so, and we all say we’ll take turns.

  Venmo has a big lead. But Square's Cash App has been gaining ground and is now more popular in some southern states. The ability to get a debit card hugely increases the value to the under-banked. It also makes generating revenue much easier for Square. Right now, Cash app has been #1 in iTunes finance section for a few months and is consistently ahead in Google play's free app ranking.
