3.2: Adding a New Bank Account or Debit Card
- If you haven't already linked a bank account or debit card, or if you want to add a new one, look for an option like "Add bank or card," "Link new bank," "Add payment method," or a "+" icon. Click on this option.

- You will be prompted to choose whether you want to link a bank account or a debit card. Select the appropriate option.
3.4: Linking a Bank Account

- Instant Verification: This method usually involves entering your online banking username and password through a secure third-party service. This is generally the fastest way to link your account. Follow the on-screen instructions carefully.
- Manual Verification: This method involves Venmo sending small test deposits (usually two small amounts under $1) to your bank account.

- Your full name as it appears on the card.

- The expiration date (month and year).
- The CVV (Card Verification Value), which is usually a 3-digit number on the back of your card.

- Double-check all the information before proceeding.
3.6: Confirming Your Payment Method
- Once you've entered the required information, click "Add," "Save," or a similar button to link your bank account or debit card.
