If you are looking to set up an account on Venmo and start sending and receiving payments with your friends and family, or even businesses that accept Venmo, you have come to the right place. In this article, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of setting up an account on Venmo.
Firstly, you have two options to sign up for Venmo. You can either visit the website venmo.com or download the app from the Google Play Store if you are using an Android device. If you are using an iPhone, you can download the app from the Apple App Store.
Once you have downloaded the app, you can start the sign-up process by clicking on the Venmo application icon. To sign up, you need to enter your first name, last name, email address, and a password of your choice. You can choose to sign up with your Facebook account or sign up with your email address.
The next step is to read the user agreement, privacy policy, and other specifications related to your Venmo account. Once you have read the terms and conditions, click on the “Agree” button.
To verify your phone number, Venmo will text you a unique code. Enter your phone number and the four-digit code to proceed. You will then need to choose a username for your Venmo account, which will start with ‘@’. You can either use your first and last name or choose a unique username.
After entering your username, you will be asked to connect with your contacts. You can allow or deny Venmo access to your phone contacts or connect with your friends and family through Facebook. You can also skip this step and click “Not Now” if you prefer.
The next step is to set up your payment settings. By default, your payments will be visible to the public, but you can change this setting to make your payments visible only to your friends or make them private.
Once you have set up your payment settings, click on “Done” in the upper right-hand corner. You can choose to receive notifications through the Venmo app, enable the app’s location access, or deny it if you prefer.
You are now ready to use Venmo. You can start by clicking on “Pay or Request” on the home page and search for the person you want to send or request funds from. You can also scan other people’s QR codes to send funds or find your own unique QR code in the “Venmo Me” section to receive payments.
