How do I deactivate my Payname?

You can deactivate your Visa+ Payname in the Venmo app with these steps: 

  1. Go to the Me tab
  2. Tap the Settings gear in the top right
  3. Tap Send Money to PayPal
  4. Tap the toggle to deactivate your payname

If you deactivate your Visa+ account, you will not be able to reactivate it. When your Payname is deactivated, you will no longer be able to receive Visa+ payments. You will, however, be able to receive other Venmo payments.
