Yep, Venmo was down for a few hours
UPDATE: Dec. 30, 2019, 3:57 p.m. EST By around 3:45 p.m. ET, Venmo appeared to be working again. The original story on the outage is below.
Given the need to buy weed so you can get through another few days with your family, it's a bad time for Venmo to go down but here we are.
The issues first hit Venmo around 11:30 a.m. ET on Monday morning and have continued for more than two hours.
