Some Venmo Debit Cardholders may have the ability to instantly add funds to their Venmo balance. You can add money to your Venmo balance in the app by tapping on “Manage Balance” at the top of your personal transactions feed (in the "Me" tab).  

If you tap “Instant” you’ll see the money added to your Venmo account right away. Please know that it will take a few days for the charge to reflect on your bank statement (typically 3-5 business days). 

This feature has a limit of $500 per week. Learn more about personal profile bank transfer limits on Venmo. 

 

Can I add money instantly to my Venmo account with a debit card? 
At this time, Venmo users can only do this type of transfer directly from a bank account.  

 

Why aren’t the funds pulled from my bank instantly? 
We want to make sure you have the option to get money in your Venmo account right away for those urgent situations when you need it – like when you’re next in line at checkout and realize the money in your Venmo account won’t cover the transaction. Due to the way these transfers process, the charge won’t reflect on your bank statement right away. It’ll usually take 3-5 business days for that debit to process.  

 

Can I cancel or change my Instant Add Money transfer after I’ve initiated it?  
We aren’t able to change or cancel these transfers once they’ve been initiated.  

 

I’ve been able to use Instant Add Money in the past, but it isn’t available right now. Why not? 
We may not be able to offer the ability to use Instant Add Money from time to time. This can be due to security concerns or other factors. It’s also worth noting that this feature is only ever available to Venmo users with an active Venmo Debit Card. If you aren’t able to use Instant Add Money, you can consider

How do I get my money out of Venmo?

There are two ways to get your money out of your Venmo account:.
Instant transfer to your eligible bank account or debit card. ... .
Standard transfer through the ACH network to your verified checking account (which is free but typically arrives 1-3 business days after you request the transfer.).

Why can't I transfer money from Venmo to my bank?

If your bank account or debit card is listed as a payment method but greyed out when you try to make an instant transfer, your bank does not currently participate in an instant transfer service. We recommend reaching out to the bank that issued your bank account or debit card to request that they enroll.
