If you spend more than $2,999.99 on authorized merchant purchases and Venmo Mastercard Debit Card purchases, the amount you can spend on person-to-person payments decreases.
For example, if you spend $3,500.00 between your Venmo Mastercard Debit Card and authorized merchant purchases, you will have $3,499.99 available to spend on person-to-person payments during that rolling weekly period. Similarly, if you spend $3,800.00 on person-to-person payments during your rolling weekly period, you will have $3,199.99 of your combined $6,999.99 limit to spend on Venmo Mastercard Debit Card and authorized merchant purchases.
Venmo Mastercard Debit Card transactions are subject to additional limits:
- Reload Limits*: see your personal reload limit in the Venmo Debit Card section of the Venmo app
- ATM withdrawals, over the counter withdrawals, and cash back daily limit: $400.00 (this limit resets daily at 12:00 AM CST)
- Daily Purchase limit: $3,000.00 (this limit resets daily at 12:00 AM CST)
- Transaction Limit: 30 transaction per day (this limit resets daily at 12:00 AM CST)
*Anticipated reloads on pending Venmo Debit Card purchases, and any reloads triggered in the past rolling week, count against your limit. Find your pending and completed purchases by going to the "Me" tab in your Venmo app.
Weekly Rolling Limits
Your combined spending limit is a rolling weekly limit. This means that a transaction counts against your limit for exactly one week from the time of authorization. For example, if you send a payment on a Monday at 11:00 AM, that payment will no longer count against your limit at 11:01 AM the following Monday.
Limits are subject to periodic review and may be changed based on your Venmo Account history, activity, and other factors, including but not limited to, your Venmo Mastercard Debit Card activity. Venmo retains sole discretion to apply and change limits.
