To pay with Venmo balance using your bank account, you'll need to link your bank account to your Venmo account.

This process is relatively straightforward, but it does require some basic information about your bank account.

You'll need to have your bank account number and routing number handy, which can usually be found on your checks or by logging into your online banking account.

Having these numbers linked to your Venmo account will allow you to easily transfer funds from your bank account to your Venmo balance.

How to Pay with Venmo Balance

To pay with your Venmo balance, you don't necessarily need to have money in your bank account. Using your Venmo balance makes for a hassle-free payment.

You can use your Venmo balance to pay other users on the app, and it will automatically come up as a payment option if you have enough in your balance to cover the payment. Venmo only allows you to pay from your bank if your balance doesn't cover the transaction.

To use your Venmo balance, simply tap the "Pay/Request" button on the bottom of the screen, select the user you'd like to pay, and type in the amount you'd like to pay. Make sure it's equal to or less than your Venmo balance.

Your Venmo in-app balance will always be the default payment method, as long as you have the funds to cover your transaction. If you want to pay someone an amount that exceeds your current Venmo balance, your other linked accounts will be the default payment method.

  1. Tap the "Pay/Request" button on the bottom of the screen.

You can add money to your Venmo balance from a linked bank account or debit card. To do this, tap on the "Me" tab in the Venmo mobile app and select "Manage balance" under the Wallet section.

To add money, select "Add Money" and choose the linked account you're drawing from, type in the amount, and tap "Add." If you're using a debit card, the money will show up in your Venmo balance instantly.
