Venmo, the PayPal-owned peer-to-peer payment service, experienced a major outage on Wednesday, affecting more than 50,000 users at its peak, according to outage tracker Downdetector. Frustrated customers flooded social media and online forums during the downtime, reporting failed transactions and delays that disrupted essential payments, including medical bills and dinner orders.

Most of the reported problems were tied to the app itself (65%), with additional complaints about login issues (23%) and failed fund transfers (12%). Many users said the Venmo mobile app wouldn’t load, showing error messages instead of their account details. Server connection failures were also reported across both Android and iOS devices.
