Recent campaign statements have misrepresented Utah PTA’s long-standing policy on the use of peer-to-peer payment platforms such as Venmo. To be clear, Utah PTA does not allow the use of Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, or similar platforms for PTA financial transactions. This policy remains unchanged and was not altered in collaboration with any individual.
Some platforms may allow users to pay via Venmo or Apple Pay as part of their internal processing systems. However, this is not the same as using Venmo directly under a PTA’s name, which is not permitted.
We are actively working to correct misinformation and have asked those involved to stop sharing inaccurate claims about our policy.
If you have any questions, please contact Utah PTA Treasurer Karen Beebe at [email protected]
