thanks for your comment @arturkiulian, I think pretty much everyone can relate to that awkwardness. Anything we can do to make helping friends less weird is a win for us.
@eddiedaroza, thanks for the question. We automate repayment and send out notifications to the borrower and lenders if there is an issue (for example, if your linked debit card expired or you don't have funds in your bank account). We'll then retry again in 24 hours. In beta testing, we found that most people just need a friendly reminder to stay on track with repayment, and it avoids a lot of awkwardness for lenders.

Love it! I'm getting some coworkers to fund a campaign to try it out. A few of them hit errors on Venmo while trying to fund my campaign.
@curtishowell sorry you were having problems with this, Venmo had a temporary outage on their API yesterday morning but everything should be running smoothly now. Please DM me with any feedback you have and let me know if your co-workers are still having problems. Thanks!
@curtishowell thanks for the heads up. Great article, and I'm sorry I didn't get in touch with Sally in time to comment. Please don't hesitate to send through any feedback you have on the app. Hope you enjoyed your lunch ;)
