What is a Venmo Teen Account?

If you're under 18 and want to use Venmo, today's your lucky day! Venmo offers a Teen Account for anyone 13-17 years old, created by a parent or guardian.

What's so special about Venmo Teen Accounts? You'll get:

  • A Venmo Teen Mastercard ® debit card with your name on it 
  • Access to the Venmo app to send and receive money and track the Teen Account balance 
  • Ability to set up Direct Deposit to get your paycheck into the Teen Account balance

What can I do with my Venmo Teen Account?

There are a few cool things you can do with a Venmo Teen Account and the Venmo app:

  • Use the teen debit card to make purchases at approved merchants or get cash at an ATM 
  • Send and receive money with your friends and family 
  • View transactions and your Teen Account balance 
  • Get money from your paychecks added to your Teen Account balance using Direct Deposit

Payment & Transfer limits for Teen Accounts

Your Venmo Teen Account has different limits for different activities:

  • Teen Venmo Debit Card purchases: $3,000 per day and $7,000 per week
  • ATM withdrawals: $400 per day
  • Payments to other Venmo users: $2,000 per week
    • This includes payments sent to your parent or guardian's account
  • In-store QR code purchases: $2,000 per week

Most payment limits on Venmo are weekly rolling limits. This means that a transaction will count towards your limit for 7 days. For example, if you make a purchase for $100 at 11:00 on a Monday, it would count towards your purchase limit until the following Monday at the same time.
