Chuckling to himself as he gleefully selected a series of emojis to accompany a payment to his friend, area man Scott Wendell made it clear that Venmo memos serve as his primary creative outlet.

“It’s so fun!” he exclaimed, scrolling through his past memos that had each given him a tiny burst of creative stimulation. “I like to make little jokes in my memos that only my friends and I understand. It’s a whole lot of fun. You can really go wild with these!”

“Sometimes I make little riddles with the pictures,” Wendell continued emphatically, pointing to a recent payment he was particularly proud of. “Like last week I paid my roommate for brunch and instead of writing ‘french toast’ I used the French flag emoji and the bread emoji.”

“And now you can use your Bitmoji? Complete game changer.”
