Your Venmo Handle and Sharing

Your Venmo handle is a unique identifier that can be shared with others to send or receive money. It's a good idea to keep your handle private to avoid unwanted requests.

You can choose to share your handle with specific people or keep it private. If you share it publicly, anyone can use it to send you money.

If you do decide to share your handle, make sure to only share it with people you trust.

You can change your Venmo username to something that fits your personality. If you've outgrown your original username, now's the time to switch.

To change your Venmo username, open Venmo and head to your profile. The icon looks like a person with a money sign behind it, and is in the bottom right corner of your screen.

Click on the gear icon in the top right corner of your screen to open your Settings, then click Account from the first option in the menu. From there, you can access your Profile settings.

You can change your profile picture, first name, last name, username, and email address from this menu. Click on your username, and you can then edit the text to any combo of five to 16 characters.

You can use letters, numbers, and special characters like - and _. Just be aware that Venmo has some restrictions on what characters you can use.

Your new username will be ready for action once you hit save. Take it for a test drive by paying a friend or making a purchase.

Sharing your Venmo handle with others is a breeze. You can share your Venmo profile link via text, direct message, or even paste it into account bios.

To create a Venmo link, you'll need to tap the Me icon in the bottom right corner of the Venmo app. This will give you access to your user ID, which starts with an @ sign.

You can then fill your user ID into the URL "https://venmo.com/{username}" and remove the {username} part, replacing it with your user ID without the @ symbol.

Sharing a Profile Link is a great way to connect with others on Venmo. To share your profile link, you can create a link using your user ID.

Open the Venmo app and tap the Me icon in the bottom right corner. Your user ID is located in the upper right-hand corner, starting with an @ symbol.

To create the link, fill your user ID into the URL "https://venmo.com/{username}" and remove the {username} part, leaving your user ID without the @ symbol.

You can share the link via text, direct message, or even paste it into account bios.

If you're using Venmo to share funds with others, you might be wondering about some of the details. You can use a credit card to pay people, but be aware that Venmo will charge a fee for any payment made using a credit card.

You can keep your transactions private by using a prepaid debit card, which doesn't require any ID to purchase. These cards are available at many stores, including grocery stores and drugstores.

If you have multiple bank accounts linked to your Venmo account, you can choose which one to pay someone from. However, once the transaction is complete, you can't change the payment method.

Here are some options to consider when paying others with Venmo:

You have the option to change the account prior to sending payment, but be sure to do so before completing the transaction.

You can generate a QR code that can be scanned from your phone or sent to others.

Having a QR code makes it easy to share your Venmo handle with others, and it's a convenient way to get paid.

Your Venmo username can be used to create a unique URL that you can link in your account bios.

This allows friends and family to easily find and send you money on Venmo.

Adding someone as a friend is another way to share your Venmo account information with them.

This can be especially helpful if you want to send or receive money from someone who doesn't have your Venmo username.
