3.1 Instant Verification (Recommended)
This is usually the quickest and easiest method.
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
3.1.1 Selecting Your Bank
- Venmo will likely present you with a list of popular banks.
- Search for "TD Bank" in the list. You might need to scroll or use a search bar if provided.
- Tap on "TD Bank" when you find it.
3.1.2 Entering Your Online Banking Credentials
- Venmo will redirect you to a secure interface where you'll be asked to enter your TD Bank online banking username and password.
- Carefully enter your credentials. Ensure accuracy to avoid errors.
- Tap "Submit" or a similar button to proceed.
3.1.3 Allowing Venmo to Connect
- TD Bank might ask you to authorize Venmo to access your account information for verification purposes.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to grant the necessary permissions.
- Venmo will then securely connect to your TD Bank account and verify its details. This process usually takes just a few moments.
3.2 Manual Verification (If Instant Verification Fails or is Preferred)
If the instant verification fails or you prefer not to enter your online banking credentials directly into Venmo, you can use the manual verification method.
3.2.1 Entering Your Bank Account Details
- If the instant verification fails, Venmo will usually offer the manual verification option automatically. Alternatively, you might see an option like "Verify Manually" or "Enter bank details manually."
- You will be asked to provide your TD Bank routing number and account number.
- Carefully enter these details. You can usually find your routing number and account number at the bottom of your checks or by logging into your TD Bank online banking portal.
3.2.2 Venmo's Micro-Deposits
- Once you've entered your routing and account numbers, Venmo will send two small test deposits (micro-deposits), typically less than $1.00 each, to your TD Bank account.
- Note the exact amounts of these deposits. This may take 1-3 business days to appear in your TD Bank account statement.
3.2.3 Verifying the Micro-Deposits in Venmo
- Once you see the micro-deposits in your TD Bank account, return to the Venmo app.
- Navigate back to Settings > Payment Methods and find the bank account you are trying to verify. It will likely have a "Verify" or "Confirm Bank" button next to it.
- Tap on this button.
- You will be prompted to enter the exact amounts of the two micro-deposits that Venmo sent.
- Enter the amounts accurately and tap "Verify" or "Confirm."
3.2.4 Confirmation
- If you enter the correct amounts, your TD Bank account will be successfully verified and linked to your Venmo account.
Step 4: Using Your Linked TD Bank Account
Once your TD Bank account is successfully linked and verified, you can use it to send and receive money on Venmo.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
4.1 Sending Money
- Tap the "Pay or Request" button (often a "+" sign or a pencil icon with a dollar sign).
- Search for the Venmo user you want to send money to.
- Enter the amount you want to send and a description (optional but recommended).
- Under the payment amount, you'll see the selected funding source. Tap on it to change it if needed.
- Select your linked TD Bank account as the funding source.
- Tap "Pay" to send the money.
4.2 Receiving Money
- When someone sends you money, it will initially appear in your Venmo balance.
- To transfer this money to your linked TD Bank account, navigate to your profile and look for your Venmo balance.

- You'll see an option to "Transfer to bank."
- Tap on this option.
- Confirm the amount you want to transfer and select your linked TD Bank account as the destination.
- Tap "Transfer." Transfers to your bank account typically take 1-3 business days.
Important Considerations
- Security: Always be cautious about entering your bank login credentials. Ensure you are on a secure connection and within the official Venmo app.
- Accuracy: Double-check your routing and account numbers if using manual verification. Incorrect details will cause delays or failure.
- Fees: Venmo typically doesn't charge fees for standard transfers from your linked bank account. However, instant transfers may incur a small fee. Be aware of Venmo's fee structure.
