Not looking for the pros and cons of deposits as that's been sufficiently discussed (IMO). I understand those who refuse to participate in it. My question is whether anyone has had issues using Venmo for a provider's deposit request.  I tried to Venmo a provider and was unable to complete the transaction. The Venmo response was something like, "there's a problem and we are unable to process".
I tried multiple times with the same outcome. I know my Venmo account is good as I recently used it without problems.
It blows because I have the $ to see  this higher end provider, but the process gets overly complicated w/ every new requirement.
