Dwolla vs. Venmo for Business

If you need to move money using ACH then Dwolla is the number 1 choice. Highly recommend. We shopped several potential partners and Dwolla was better across the board. I count the Dwolla team and my team - they're always there to help and always go above and beyond to help us.

I had a customer who wanted me to do his wife's birthday party. I sent him the estimate and he gave me a deposit from his Venmo account. When the party was done, he forgot to pay for a week. I reminded him with an invoice and he sent a deposit. It wasn't immediately deposited, but it [arrived the next day].

• Seamless integration.
• Quick resolution/response time.

• QR codes for quick payment
• A secure account for customers
• Venmo integrates with QuickBooks

• Take out transaction fee. They are not PayPal
• More understanding with bitcoin
• Invoicing would be a good feature

We have a dedicated Slack channel with multiple team members from across the organization: product, legal and compliance, technology. We have a dedicated relationship manager. Super super responsive. We are so pleased.

Better service. Better price.

PayPal has more work items for businesses. It has invoicing, time tracking, and marketing strategies. I could [use] PayPal to run my business like I do with QuickBooks. Affiliates with other business is crazy. Plus, they also carry debit and credit cards for business and personal purposes. Venmo is the little brother [of PayPal].

• Without Dwolla, we would have to invest a lot more of our company resources and time into accomplishing something that can take as little as 15 minutes. Dwolla's integration is almost invaluable to us.

• Give customers reassurance
• Secure money account
• More marketing strategies
