If you use Venmo often, you may wonder if you can use a credit card with this peer-to-peer payment service. The answer is yes; you can add credit cards to Venmo and use them to pay others or make purchases. Keep reading to learn how to add a credit card to Venmo on the web or in the app, why Venmo might not accept your card, and some pros and cons of adding your card to Venmo.
Things You Should Know
- You can add your credit card to Venmo via the website (in a desktop or mobile browser) or the mobile app.
- Credit cards are subject to a 3% fee when sending money to other users, and your credit card issuer may also charge a cash advance fee.
- Unlike a debit card or bank account, you cannot move funds from your Venmo balance to your credit card.
Steps
Adding a Credit Card
Website

- Enter the card information. Ensure the information is accurate, and click through to add your credit card to your account.[1]
App
- Tap the Me tab in the Venmo app. This will either be your profile picture or your initials, if you didn't set a picture.
- Go to Wallet > Add bank or card…. When given the option, select Card.
- Enter your card information. You can do this manually, or use your camera to capture the card information so you don't have to type it in.
Troubleshooting
- Check your card's billing address. You must enter the correct ZIP code when adding a credit card to Venmo, and if your billing address has changed, you will likely encounter an error when adding the card if you're using an old ZIP.
- Check the card information. Ensure you entered your credit card's number, expiration date, and security code correctly. Incorrect info will lead to an error when trying to add your card.
- Contact your card issuer. If all of your information is being entered correctly, you should reach out to your credit card issuer to ensure there are no problems with your credit card or account that could be causing an issue with Venmo.
