How Visa+ works
Visa+ enables you to send and receive payments through supported third-party apps like Venmo and PayPal. You can use this feature to send money between your own accounts on different platforms, or you can pay and be paid by other people.
Payments sent with Visa+ can take up to 30 minutes to reach the recipient's account.
To get started with Visa+, you'll need to set up your Payname in the app(s) you want to use.
Issues receiving a Visa+ payment
You can’t receive Visa+ payments if your Payname is deactivated. This can happen automatically if your Venmo account becomes restricted, so you'll need to reactivate your Payname on Venmo if that happens.
You can check the status of your Payname and reactivate or deactivate it in the Venmo app with these steps:
- Go to the Me tab
- Tap the Settings gear
- Tap Send Money to PayPal
- Tap the Deactivate your payname toggle
If your Visa+ Payname is active on Venmo and you're still having trouble sending or receiving money, please contact the person you're transacting with.
