Fees with your Venmo Account

We try to minimize fees wherever we can. When there is a fee, we'll let you know. Here's a list of all fees that apply to your account.

If you have added money to your Venmo personal account using Direct Deposit or the cash a check feature or have bought or have received cryptocurrency with your Venmo account, we will place your U.S. dollar Venmo personal account funds in one or more Program Banks, where they will, subject to certain conditions, be eligible for pass-through FDIC insurance up to applicable limits. FDIC insurance protects against the failure of a Program Bank , not the failure of PayPal which provides the Venmo service. PayPal is not a bank, does not take deposits and is not FDIC insured. Any other Venmo account funds and all cryptocurrencies are not held in FDIC-insured bank deposits. Cryptocurrencies may lose value. See Venmo User Agreement. You may be offered credit any time after acquiring your Venmo account. Fees could apply. Contact Venmo by calling 1-855-812-4430, by mail to Venmo, 117 Barrow Street, New York, NY 10014, or visit venmo.com/contact-us. For general information about prepaid accounts, visit cfpb.gov/prepaid. If you have a complaint about a prepaid account, call the Customer Financial Protection Bureau at 1-855-411-2372 or visit cfpb.gov/complaint.
