How do I close my account?
You can close your Venmo account by clicking “Close my Venmo Account” at the bottom of your Profile section when logged in from a computer. You can also close your Venmo account in the app:
- In the Venmo app, go to the "Me" tab by tapping your picture or initials
- Tap the Settings gear in the top right
- Select “Account” under “Preferences”
- Tap “Close Venmo Account”
By closing your personal account, your business profile will also be closed (if you have one). You do have the option to close 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
