Your physical card number can be used in-person and online. It comes with a chip and supports contactless payments and cash advances.
Your virtual card number can be accessed in the Venmo Credit Card section of the Venmo app. Please note that you will need to confirm the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number to view the virtual card number, expiration date, and CVV.
Can I use my Venmo Credit Card to make payments to other Venmo users?
Your Venmo Credit Card is automatically added as a payment method on Venmo. That means you can use your card to make payments to friends and authorized merchants using the Venmo app.
What is an authorization?
When you make a purchase using your Venmo Credit Card, the merchant will authorize your card for the initial amount of your purchase. This is called a merchant authorization, and it allows the merchant to first ensure that your Venmo Credit Card is open and working. The transaction will appear as a pending charge on your transaction history until the merchant completes the transaction and posts the final amount.
What is a capture?
Funds will not be transferred to the merchant until they finalize the transaction and capture the final amount. Once a merchant captures an authorization, you’ll see the purchase finalized in your Venmo app for the final amount. Please note that most merchants will capture a transaction in 1-7business days. If yourtransactionis still pending after 7 business days, please contact Synchrony Bank at 855-878-6462.
Why was the final amount (capture) different than the initial authorization?
There may be a difference between the amount that you see when you initially authorize a purchase, and the final capture amount. Some merchants place a hold larger than the transaction amount to cover incidentals or tips (such as "pay at the pump" for fuel, or at restaurants, hotels, and car rental locations). If no incidentals took place, or you tipped more orless than the hold amount, your final transaction amount will reflect that difference.
Can I add my Venmo Credit Card to another virtual wallet?
You can add your Venmo Credit Card to virtual wallets like Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay™. If you have any questions about adding your card, please reach out to the specific virtual wallet provider.
