How Do You Get a Venmo Account?

You have to have an active mobile phone number, and the account has to be linked to a funding source, such as your bank account.

When someone sends you money, it goes into your Venmo balance.

This balance can be used for future purchases, or it can be sent to your bank account.

But Venmo isn’t the only app that you can use to send and receive money. There are many others, like Cash App.

  • Hit the transfer button
  • The money will show up in your bank account in 1-3 business days, depending on your bank
