When I add money, how long does it take for the funds to reach my Venmo balance?

Add money transfer from a debit card is typically available instantly. Learn more about adding money from a debit card.

Add money transfers from a bank typically take 3-5 business days to reach your Venmo balance, and the funds from that transfer won’t be available until it completes.

There are a few important things to keep in mind about these transfers:

• The timing of your transfer can be impacted by several factors, such as weekends or holidays
• You may see a completed charge in your bank account while the transfer is processing and before those funds reach your Venmo account
• You can check the status of your transfer in the Venmo app, in your personal transactions feed under the Metab

Keep in mind that you might have the option to add money from your debit card.

If the money doesn’t arrive in your Venmo account after 5 full business days, please contact Venmo Support.

Note: Transfers are reviewed, which may result in delays or funds being frozen or removed from your Venmo account. Learn more aboutReviews of Transfers Into and Out of Venmo.

I tried to add money with my bank account and got declined

Before you can use a bank account to add money to Venmo, it needs to be verified. If you’ve already verified your bank account on Venmo, there are a few other reasons why your attempt to add money may be declined:

• Your bank returned a notice of insufficient funds for your requested transfer. This information may not be up to date, so please try later or use a debit card instead.
• You’ve hit your transfer limit for the rolling week. Learn more about Venmo transfer limits.
• The transfer attempt triggered an automated security flag, resulting in a decline. There isn’t a way to override these declines, so you may need to try again later or explore other options.
