Adding a credit card
Please be aware that payments funded by credit cards are subject to our standard 3% fee. However, making purchases from authorized merchants does not incur a Venmo transaction fee, even if you use a credit card. Please see this article for information about purchasing online with Venmo and this article about purchasing in stores.
Some credit card providers charge cash advance fees (possibly including an additional dollar amount or percent rate, in addition to other possible cash advance service fees, including a higher APR) if you use your credit card to make payments to friends on Venmo. For more information about whether your card provider charges these fees, contact your card provider. Learn more about fees on Venmo.
I'm getting an error when I try to add my card
If you’re having trouble adding your credit or debit card to Venmo, the best thing to do is reach out to your card issuer to confirm that there are no issues. Oftentimes cards are declined because of a recent zip code or address change - your card issuer should be able to tell you more.
