After the Denver Broncos bested the Carolina Panthers to take home the Lombardi trophy, Venmo users reported difficulty sending money through the app. Venmo , the free peer-to-peer mobile banking app, suffered an outage after the Venmo Super Bowl on Sunday , which caused users to experience difficulty sending and receiving payments. NFL ’s customer service team immediately acknowledged the processing issues via Twitter, and the app was functional normal about two hours after the game. Although Venmo declined to state what caused the crash, social media speculation among fans suggested that Venmo ’s systems were temporarily overloaded by a rush to pay off sporting bets on the game.
