Venmo Faces Outage, Thousands of Users Report App Problems
If you were trying to send or receive money on Venmo yesterday, you might have noticed something was off. On December 3, 2025, Venmo experienced a major service disruption that affected tens of thousands of users across the country. Reports started coming in through Downdetector, the popular outage monitoring website, showing that users were having trouble connecting to the platform.
The first reports appeared in the early afternoon, with over 4,000 users reporting issues as of 3:50 p.m. PT. By the next hour, that number had jumped to more than 6,000. The outage continued to grow rapidly, and by late afternoon, nearly 30,000 people had reported problems. Within a short span, the total surged past 70,000 users experiencing difficulties with the app. Most of these reports mentioned issues with the mobile app, where users were unable to send or receive payments, check balances, or even log in properly.

Social media quickly filled with frustrated users sharing their experiences. On X, formerly known as Twitter, users were posting comments like, "Am I the only one whose Venmo is trippin?" and "@Venmo what’s up? Your app isn’t working…" The frustration was palpable, especially as many people rely on Venmo for holiday shopping, splitting bills, and everyday transactions.
At the time, Venmo had not issued an official statement regarding the outage, leaving users to wait and hope for a quick resolution. Outages like this highlight just how much people depend on mobile payment services and how disruptive it can be when technology fails, even briefly.
By the evening, reports of the outage were still being tracked, with the total number of affected users continuing to climb. Downdetector became the primary source for users trying to gauge the scale of the problem, providing minute-by-minute updates on how widespread the disruption was.
While Venmo works to resolve the technical issues, the incident serves as a reminder of the risks that come with digital financial services. Users are left temporarily unable to access funds or complete transactions, demonstrating how essential reliability is for platforms handling money in real time.
For now, all eyes are on Venmo to restore service and reassure its millions of users that the app will be up and running smoothly again. The outage may be temporary, but it’s clear that even small disruptions in digital payment systems can create significant ripple effects for users relying on them daily.
