Venmo is owned by PayPal.

    While that is true, I have also had issues with Venmo that I have never had with PayPal. I have no clue what the back-end difference is, but I stopped using Venmo after they decided a small payment to a friend was suspicious and locked my account. Meanwhile, payments to that same friend via PayPal have been fine.

    I've been locked out of my PayPal since 2005. On their end my account is somehow both locked and nonexistent, creating a loop of error messages. Last time I tried to have a real human fix it they basically shrugged, and that was about 7 years ago haha
