To cancel a Venmo transfer, you'll need to act fast - Venmo transfers are typically irreversible after 30 minutes.
If you're trying to cancel a transfer within that time frame, you can do so by going to the Venmo app, selecting the transfer, and tapping "Cancel Transfer."
It's worth noting that if you're trying to cancel a transfer after 30 minutes, you won't be able to do so through the app.
Canceling a Payment
You can cancel a Venmo payment if you sent it to someone who hasn't yet created a Venmo account. The payment will show as "pending" and you may see an option to "Cancel" or "Take Back" the payment.
To cancel a pending Venmo payment, find the pending amount in your transaction feed and immediately cancel it before it gets processed.
If you sent a payment to the wrong person, Venmo can only reverse it if the recipient gives explicit permission, has an account in good standing, and still has the funds available.
Here are the steps to cancel a pending Venmo payment:
- Open the Venmo app and go into the Me tab.
- Enter the Transactions section and find the pending transaction.
- Choose to Take Back the payment.
Alternatively, you can log into Venmo.com using a web browser and go into the Incomplete tab, then select the Payments section. Pending payments should be listed there.
If you're unable to cancel the payment, you can try asking the recipient to return the money. You can also contact Venmo support and fill out a ticket form, including the recipient's username, payment amount, and date, as well as your own username, phone number, and email address.
Refunded payments should be reflected on your bank statement within 5 business days.
Reversing a Transfer
Reversing a transfer can be a bit tricky, but there are ways to get your money back. You can call Venmo's official number and their agents can help you return your money.
If you've sent a pending payment, you can cancel it and avoid losing the money. However, if the payment has already gone to the other account, you're out of luck unless the recipient pays you back or Venmo makes them pay you.
Receiving a refund from Venmo isn't always guaranteed, but it's worth a shot. The process of reversing a transfer can be frustrating, but it's better than losing your money altogether.
Unregistered User Payments
If you've sent a payment to someone who hasn't yet created a Venmo account, you might be able to cancel it. This is because the payment is still pending and you can see an option to "Cancel" or "Take Back" the payment in your transaction feed.
To cancel a pending payment to an unregistered user, go to your transaction feed in the app and find the pending payment. If it's still pending, you'll see the option to cancel it.
You can only cancel payments to unregistered users if the payment is still pending, which is usually indicated by a "pending" status in your transaction feed.
