55 Funny Venmo Captions That’ll Take the Sting Out of Sending Your Friends Money

I don’t know about you, but Venmo has become one of my favorite—and most-used—mobile apps in the past year or so. I rarely carry cash in my wallet, and the payment platform makes it a breeze to send and receive money. Just this week alone, I used it for the local ice cream truck, at the snack stand at the local junior football league field and to send money to my friend for a fundraiser raffle. And if you use Venmo frequently as well, you're bound to get a lot out of these funny Venmo captions!

Launched back in 2009, Venmo was created with a target audience of friends and family in mind, folks who would be splitting a large dinner bill, sharing the cost of a movie outing or splitting the rent on a home. Through the mobile app, one user can quickly transfer money to another without having to worry about who has change to break a larger bill, right from a smartphone. Super convenient!

But one of the biggest criticisms about Venmo (which was acquired by PayPal in 2012) is that whether sending or requesting money, users have to include a caption with each transaction. Payment amounts are secrets, but unless a user has their profile settings private, those captions can be seen by anyone using the platform.

Venmo makes including a caption for each transaction super easy by offering a selection of animated stickers to choose from, or users can enter a simple emoji from their phone’s keyboard. But more often than not, users make up wild and insane reasons for their transaction captions—and that’s where the real fun comes in with using Venmo!

Who got paid for “the thing we aren’t supposed to talk about” and what the heck was it? Did Sara get “another free coffee” this week, because that would be her fifth one? Who got caught “skipping out on the bill” again this month? Stalking people on a Venmo newsfeed can be just as much fun as skulking around Facebook, and my friends and I are always trying to one-up each other with our witty transaction reasons.

If you are looking to step up your money-sharing creativity, then look no further than this list of funny Venmo captions!
