While Venmo and Zelle don't have built-in features to transfer money between the two, you can work around this by linking a bank account to both platforms. However, keep in mind that you must be eligible for Venmo's Debit Card to add money to your Venmo balance in general. Here's how to send money between Zelle and Venmo.
Things You Should Know
- You can't directly send money to Venmo from Zelle, but you can link a bank account as a workaround.
- Link a bank account to Venmo and Zelle. Use the bank account to transfer money to Venmo.
- You must be approved for a Venmo Debit Card to add money directly to your Venmo balance.
Steps
Transferring Money
- Link your bank account to Venmo. If you used a debit card when first creating your account, you can add a new bank account. Do the following:
- Open Venmo.
- Tap Me.
- Tap Wallet.
- Tap Add a bank or card…
- Tap Bank.
- Select a verification method.
- Enter your information.
- Link your bank account to Zelle. Most banking apps have Zelle built into the app. In this case, you'll just need to find the Zelle feature and quickly activate it. You'll need to confirm your personal and banking information to get started.[2]
- If your bank app doesn't support Zelle, you can download the Zelle app for iOS in the App Store and for Android in the Google Play Store.
- When you enroll through the Zelle app, you'll be asked to provide a Visa or Mastercard debit card.
- If your bank app doesn't support Zelle, you can download the Zelle app for iOS in the App Store and for Android in the Google Play Store.
- Transfer money from Zelle to Venmo (optional). When you get paid through Zelle, the funds will automatically go to your linked bank account. If you want to move funds from Zelle to Venmo, do the following:
- Wait for Zelle payments to finish pending.
- Check your bank account to confirm the new balance.
- Open Venmo.
- Tap Me.
- Tap Manage Balance.
- Tap Add money.
- If you don't see this option, you have not been approved for the Venmo Debit Card, and you won't be able to add money to your balance at this time.
- Select your bank.
- Enter the amount and source.
- Tap Add.
- Transfer money from Venmo to Zelle (optional). You can transfer your Venmo balance to your bank account, which can then be sent again through Zelle. If you want to move funds from your Venmo balance to Zelle, do the following:
- Open Venmo.
- Tap Me.
- Tap Add or Transfer.
- Enter the amount.
- Select a deposit speed.
- Tap Transfer.[3]
