Venmo And PayPal Are Down For Some, According To Monitor

  • On Thursday, Oct. 16, Venmo and PayPal experienced service issues, with users reporting problems on Down Detector around 11 a.m. ET.
  • Because the platforms share infrastructure, support accounts posted that teams were working and `We understand the inconvenience you are facing at the moment.`
  • Many users posted on X that they could not log in or the main dashboard would not load, and Down Detector showed reports approaching 10,000, at 9,452 as of 12:11 PM ET.
  • Down Detector data indicate signs of recovery while Venmo still had over 6,500 reports, and PayPal's status page reported services operational at about 12:30 p.m., though some issues persisted.
  • At about 12:25 p.m. ET, some users reported partial Venmo access with empty feeds and slow searches, while posts on X, formerly Twitter, showed ongoing complaints and others learned of the outage from other services.
