With our expert tips and tricks, you'll be able to top up your account in no time and start enjoying all the benefits that Venmo has to offer. So let's get started!

How to add money to Venmo

Adding money to your Venmo account is a simple process. Once you've linked a payment method, follow these steps:

  • Open the Venmo app on your smartphone.
  • Tap on the "☰" icon in the top-left corner of the screen.
  • Select "Add Money" from the menu.
  • Enter the amount you want to add to your account.
  • Choose the payment method you want to use.
  • Confirm the transaction by entering your PIN or using Touch ID or Face ID.

Your funds should be available in your Venmo account almost instantly. However, keep in mind that Venmo charges a 1% fee for instant transfers, so it might be worth waiting a day or two for the money to clear if you don't need it right away.

Linking your bank account to Venmo

Linking your bank account to Venmo is a good way to add funds to your account without incurring any fees. To do this, follow these steps:

  • Open the Venmo app on your smartphone.
  • Tap on the "☰" icon in the top-left corner of the screen.
  • Select "Settings" from the menu.
  • Tap on "Payment Methods."
  • Choose "Add Bank or Card."
  • Select "Bank Account."
  • Enter your bank account details, including your routing and account number.
  • Confirm your details and wait for Venmo to verify your account.

Once your bank account is linked to your Venmo account, you can transfer funds to and from your bank account for free.

Adding a debit or credit card to Venmo

Another way to add money to your Venmo account is to link a debit or credit card. This is a good option if you want to add funds quickly or if you don't have a bank account to link. To add a debit or credit card, follow these steps:

  • Open the Venmo app on your smartphone.
  • Tap on the "☰" icon in the top-left corner of the screen.
  • Select "Settings" from the menu.
  • Tap on "Payment Methods."
  • Choose "Add Bank or Card."
  • Select "Debit or Credit Card."
  • Enter your card details, including the card number, expiration date, and security code.
  • Confirm your details and wait for Venmo to verify your card.

Once your card is linked to your Venmo account, you can use it to add funds, but keep in mind that Venmo charges a 3% fee for credit card transactions.

Transferring money from Venmo to your bank account

If you want to withdraw funds from your Venmo account, you can transfer them to your linked bank account. To do this, follow these steps:

  • Select "Transfer to Bank" from the menu.
  • Enter the amount you want to transfer.
  • Choose the bank account you want to transfer the funds to.
  • Confirm the transaction by entering your PIN or using Touch ID or Face ID.

It usually takes 1-3 business days for the funds to appear in your bank account. Keep in mind that Venmo charges a 1% fee for instant transfers, so it might be worth waiting a few days for the money to clear if you don't need it right away.
