What is a Visa+ Payname?

Important update: Starting February 19, 2026, Visa+ will no longer be available for PayPal and Venmo transactions. Instead, you'll soon be able to send money directly between PayPal and Venmo accounts using a phone number—no third-party service needed. This feature is rolling out in the U.S. first, with more markets to follow. Customers will begin hearing about this coming change starting today.

Your Visa+ Payname

A Visa+ Payname is a unique handle, like a username, that you can use to  receive money  from  other Visa partner platforms.  

Visa+ is no longer available to new sign-ups as of February 19, 2026.
