Am I the only one who refuses to use Venmo? When I need to pay friends casually, I use Facebook Messenger, Square Cash, or even PayPal (which is really easy in Slack with the `/paypal` command these days).
I have no interest in using an app that by default broadcasts my transactions to everyone, and that makes it a pain to get money out of its non-FDIC insured closed system. With Facebook or Square, the money gets pushed and pulled directly to my bank account, simply by adding a debit card.
Plus, when I did try to sign up once a long time ago… it had the audacity of asking for my SSN. I flat-out refused and refused to use Venmo ever since.
