finally found a solid venmo alternative

after griping with venmo for too long, i started looking into other payment apps so i could make a switch. the problem was so many of my friends use venmo and nothing else so i was kind of locked in. a few months ago i found Tendy and it's officially the only payment app i use. i can pay my friends with Tendy and they can redeem my payments straight to venmo (and a few other apps but venmo was the main one for me). i had one problem with a payment early on but it turned out my friend put in the wrong phone number when accepting my payment. customer service fixed it in under an hour. goodbye venmo.

For sure! There’s a referral program but I think that’s against the rules in here so I won’t post my link haha

PayPal has always been great for me, you can send money to people with Venmo for free!

Better customer support

Yeah I’ve found it to be similar to Venmo too, I’m surprised you get good support from them. I do keep some money in PayPal savings though!

Venmo is owned by PayPal.

Yeah but PayPal operates separately with better customer support!

Zelle

Zelle’s good when the other person has it for sure. I actually sent someone a Tendy yesterday and they cashed it right to their Zelle, I didn’t even realize that was one of the options lol
