How to delete Venmo account

Venmo is a top-rated mobile payment service that PayPal owns. It allows you to send and receive money using the app on your device, but both parties, the one who sends and the one who receives money, need to live in the United States.

Even though everything is handled using the app, one thing you can’t do with the Venmo app is close the account. If you want to delete your Venmo account, you can only do it on your smartphone browser, desktop, or laptop. Here is how you can do that.

Before you delete your Venmo account

Here are some things you need to do first:

• Make sure to transfer the funds you have on your Venmo account to your bank account
• Also, make sure to download a copy of your transaction history. It will be deleted along with your Venmo account.

• A pop-up will show up, and you will see a message “Before you can close your Venmo account, review and download your most recent statement.”
• Click Next
• Finally, you will be asked if you want to close your account

Once this is all done, you will receive an email informing you that your account has been deleted.
