Managing Direct Deposit for Your Teen Account

Note: Teen Accounts cannot receive government payments, including tax refunds, via Direct Deposit.

Find your Teen Account Direct Deposit info

Details for your Teen Account's Direct Deposit account can be found in your Venmo app, when viewing the Teen Account.

Follow these steps to view the account and routing numbers:

  1. Go to the Me tab
  2. Tap the down arrow next to your name in the top left-hand corner
  3. Select which account you’d like to view
  4. Tap Overview
  5. Tap the eye icon next to Direct Deposit to view the full account and routing numbers

Your teen can also locate this information through their own Venmo app.

Please note that the Direct Deposit info for your Teen Account can only be used for deposits, not withdrawals or payments.

Deposit timing

The exact arrival time of funds sent using Direct Deposit can vary by employer. It may take up to two pay cycles for the Direct Deposit feature to take effect.

There are a few factors to keep in mind regarding funds sent via Direct Deposit:

  1. Certain employers and payroll providers may send funds through Direct Deposits 1-2 days in advance of payday. It is up to the employer to submit paycheck information early.
  2. The time that the employer submits their paycheck information may vary by pay cycle. Venmo will post funds added through Direct Deposit to the Teen Account as soon as we receive notice from the employer.
  3. Federal holidays may also delay the arrival of expected transfers.

If your teen hasn't received an expected deposit, please reach out to the issuer to confirm it was sent correctly and successfully. Venmo Support is unable to view incoming or pending Direct Deposit transfers.

Deactivate Direct Deposit for my Teen Account

If you would like to stop adding funds to your Venmo Teen Accounts using Direct Deposit or change the amount added, please notify the employer or issuer. It can take 1-2 payroll cycles for changes to take effect once the employer has received and processed the request.
