Add a Bank Account to Venmo on iPhone or iPad
This article teaches you how to connect your bank account to Venmo on an iPhone or iPad.
Steps
- Open Venmo. It’s a blue icon with a white “V.” You’ll usually find it on your home screen.
- If you don’t see your home screen, tap Sign In at the top-right corner of the screen, then sign in to your account.
- Tap ☰. It’s at the top-left corner of the screen.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap Banks & Cards.
- Tap Link Bank Account….
- Select your bank. If you don’t see it in the list, type its name into the “Search for your bank” box, then select it when it appears in the search results.
- Enter your online banking login information. If you don’t have the username and password to your online banking account, contact your bank.
- Click Continue.
- If your normal bank account login doesn’t work, you may need to use a special password called a One-time Password. Some banks want you to use this special type of password for services like Venmo. You’ll usually find it in your online banking settings, but if not, give your bank a call for assistance.
- Answer the security questions. If you don’t see any security questions, you can skip this step. Otherwise, answer each question and tap Continue when you’re finished.
- Select your account. If you have multiple accounts with this bank, they’ll show up here. Choose the one you want to link to Venmo (usually a checking account). When it’s added, you’ll see a message that says “Bank Account Added.”
- Select low-balance options. These options describe different scenarios of how to handle payments when your Venmo balance is too low.
- Tap Save Settings. Your account is now ready for use.
