Close a Venmo Account

To delete a Venmo account, you will have to use Venmo’s website; the mobile app does not offer the option to remove an account.

To start, open a web browser on your device and launch the Venmo site. Sign in to your account on the site.

From the sidebar on the left, select “Settings.”

Select "Settings" from the left sidebar on Venmo.

In the expanded “Settings” menu, click “Profile.”

Click "Profile" in the "Settings" menu.

On your “Profile” page, at the bottom, click “Close My Venmo Account.”

Select "Close My Venmo Account" from the bottom of the "Profile" page.

You will see a “Close Your Venmo Account” prompt. Here, click “Next.”

Hit "Next" in the "Close Your Venmo Account" prompt.

A “Closing Your Venmo Account” page will open. On this page, if you have not already, download your account statement by clicking “Download CSV.”

Then, at the top, click the “Next” button.

Select "Next" on the "Closing Your Venmo Account" page.

Venmo will display a final prompt asking if you really want to close your account. To continue, click the “Close Account” button.

Warning: Make sure you really want to close your account before hitting the button as there won’t be any further prompts.
