Venmo for strippers? Well, maybe

Mobile payment app Venmo gets used a lot by the team at

LendEDU, a marketplace for student loans and student loan refinance. So much so that Chief Technology Officer Matt

Lenhard wanted to collect and analyze transaction data — gathering more than 500,000 public Venmo transactions in the past few months. Among the findings: “Food,” “Uber” and “rent” were the most-used terms, but the top 100 list also included “poker,” “Tequila” and “strippers.” The most popular emojis: pizza, money and beer.
