Can I have my paycheck deposited to the Venmo Teen Account?
Yes! You or your parent or guardian can set up Direct Deposit into the Venmo Teen Account by providing your employer with their Venmo Teen Account and routing numbers. If you can't log in to the Teen Account, you will need to ask your parent or guardian for the account and routing numbers.
If you do have app access, you can find the information in the Venmo app.
Steps to locate the Teen Account Direct Deposit information:
- Open your Venmo app
- Tap the Card tab near the bottom of the screen
- Tap the eye icon next to Direct Deposit to view the full account and routing numbers
Please note: Teen Accounts cannot receive government payments, including tax refunds, via Direct Deposit.
When will I receive the Direct Deposit funds?
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.
Certain employers and payroll providers may send funds through Direct Deposits 1-2 days in advance of payday. It is up to your employer to submit paycheck information early. Please note that the time that your employer submits your paycheck information may vary by pay cycle. Venmo will post funds added through Direct Deposit to the account as soon as we receive notice from your employer.
Can I use the account and routing number to withdraw money from the Teen Account?
The Teen Account and routing number can only be used for incoming payments to the account.
Where is the Direct Deposit I'm expecting?
If you expected to receive funds in the Teen Account through the Direct Deposit feature and have yet to receive such funds, please reach out to your employer (or issuer) to confirm that the payment was sent.
Venmo does not receive this information instantly, so there will be a delay between the payment being sent by your employer and the payment arriving at Venmo. Funds sent through Direct Deposit may also be delayed in the event of a federal or bank holiday. Venmo Support is unable to see incoming or pending transfers. If a Direct Deposit fails to reach the Venmo Teen Account for any reason, your employer or payroll provider should be contacted directly.
How long will it take to add the first Direct Deposit to the Teen Account?
It can take 1-2 payroll cycles for Direct Deposit to take effect once your employer has received and processed the request.
