How do I cancel my account?
You can cancel your Venmo account by clicking “Cancel my Venmo Account” at the bottom of your Profile section when logged in from a computer. Currently, you cannot cancel your account from the mobile app.
By canceling your personal account, your business profile will also be closed (if you have one). You do have the option to cancel your business profile while keeping your personal account, but you’ll need to contact us in order to do so. If you wish to close your business profile, there are a few important things to keep in mind:
- Business profiles are permanently deleted when closed—they can’t be reactivated
- You won’t be able to create a second business profile tied to your personal account
- A new business profile representing the same business entity can’t be created
How do I edit my account settings?
When you log in to venmo.com/account/sign-in from a computer you can edit your account settings by clicking “Settings” on the left side of the website.
If you’re on the old version of the Venmo app (with the ☰ icon in the top right), you can edit your account settings by tapping on the ☰ icon at the top of the app and selecting “Settings." If you’re on the new version of the Venmo app (without the ☰ icon), go to the “You” tab by selecting the single person icon 
and tap the Settings gear in the top right.
