It seems there might be a misunderstanding about the term "Visa Plus" in the context of Venmo. Venmo is primarily a peer-to-peer payment platform that allows users to send and receive money with friends and family. It doesn't directly integrate with "Visa Plus" in a way that requires a specific setup process within the Venmo app itself.
Visa Plus is a global network of ATMs that allows Visa cardholders to access their funds internationally. When you use your Visa debit or credit card at an ATM displaying the Visa Plus logo, you're utilizing the Visa Plus network.
Therefore, the concept of "setting up Visa Plus on Venmo" as a distinct feature or process within the Venmo app is not accurate. Instead, accessing your funds internationally via a Visa card linked to your bank account (which might be connected to your Venmo for funding purposes) involves using the Visa Plus network directly at ATMs.
However, if your intention was perhaps related to how to fund your Venmo account using a Visa card, or how the Visa network plays a role in transactions related to Venmo, let's explore those aspects in a step-by-step manner.
Are you looking to understand how to link a Visa card to your Venmo account so you can send or receive money? Or are you perhaps thinking about using a Visa debit card linked to your bank account to withdraw funds at ATMs internationally, and associating that somehow with your Venmo balance?
Please clarify your intention so I can provide the most accurate and helpful information.
Assuming you're interested in how a Visa card interacts with your Venmo account for funding or withdrawal purposes (even though "Visa Plus setup on Venmo" isn't a direct feature), let's proceed with a guide on managing payment methods on Venmo, including Visa cards, and briefly touch upon how you might access funds internationally using a Visa debit card linked to your bank.
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
Managing Your Payment Methods on Venmo (Including Visa Cards)
This section will guide you through the process of adding and managing your payment methods, including Visa cards, on the Venmo platform.
Step 1: Accessing Your Profile Settings
- Open the Venmo App on your smartphone. Make sure you are logged into your account.
- Look for your profile icon, which is usually located in the top-left or bottom-right corner of the screen. Tap on it. This will take you to your profile page.
Step 2: Navigating to Payment Methods
- On your profile page, you will see various options. Look for a section labeled "Settings" or an icon that resembles a gear. Tap on it.
- Within the Settings menu, find and select the option labeled ***"Payment Methods"***. This is where you can add, edit, and remove the different ways you fund your Venmo transactions or withdraw your Venmo balance.
Step 3: Adding a Visa Card
- On the "Payment Methods" screen, you will likely see a button that says "Add bank or card..." or a similar option like ***"+ Add"***. Tap on this button.
- You will be presented with a choice between adding a bank account or a card. Select ***"Card"***.
- Now, you will need to enter your Visa card details. This typically includes:
- Card Number: Enter the 16-digit number on the front of your Visa card.
- Expiration Date: Enter the month and year your card expires (MM/YY).
- CVV/CVC: Enter the 3-digit or 4-digit security code usually found on the back of your card.
- Billing Address: You might be asked to confirm or enter the billing address associated with your Visa card. Ensure this information is accurate.
- Once you have entered all the required details, tap on "Add" or a similar button to save your Visa card information to your Venmo account.
Step 4: Verifying Your Card (If Required)
- In some cases, Venmo might require you to verify your Visa card to ensure its authenticity. This could involve a small temporary charge to your card, which will be refunded, or a request to confirm a code sent to your bank. Follow the on-screen instructions if verification is required.
Step 5: Using Your Visa Card for Venmo Transactions
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
- Once your Visa card is successfully added and verified (if necessary), you can use it to:
- Fund payments to other Venmo users: When you send money to someone, you can select your linked Visa card as the funding source. Keep in mind that using a credit card (including some Visa credit cards) might incur a small fee from Venmo. Debit cards (including most Visa debit cards) typically do not have this fee.
- Potentially add funds to your Venmo balance (depending on Venmo's policies): While less common, Venmo might allow you to add funds to your Venmo balance directly from your linked cards. Check the Venmo app for this option.

Understanding Visa Plus and International ATM Access
As mentioned earlier, Visa Plus is a global ATM network. Here's how your Visa debit card (linked to your bank account, which might also be linked to your Venmo for funding) can be used internationally:
Step 1: Ensure Your Visa Debit Card is Activated for International Use
- Contact your bank that issued your Visa debit card. Inform them of your travel plans and ask them to activate your card for international use. Some banks require you to set travel notifications to avoid your card being blocked for suspicious activity.
Step 2: Locate Visa Plus ATMs at Your Destination
- Look for ATMs displaying the Visa or Visa Plus logo. These ATMs are part of the network that allows you to withdraw funds using your Visa card. You can often find ATM locators on the Visa website or through your bank's mobile app.
Step 3: Perform the Withdrawal
 |
- Insert your Visa debit card into the ATM.
- Follow the on-screen instructions. You will likely need to:
- Select the language you prefer.
- Enter your PIN (Personal Identification Number) for your debit card.
- Choose the account type you want to withdraw from (e.g., checking, savings).
- Enter the amount you wish to withdraw.
- Confirm the transaction and collect your cash and card.
Important Considerations for International ATM Use:
- Fees: Be aware that using ATMs outside your bank's network, especially internationally, can incur fees from both the ATM operator and your bank. Check your bank's fee schedule beforehand.
- Exchange Rates: The exchange rate applied to your withdrawal will be determined by Visa or your bank. Be mindful of potential unfavorable exchange rates.
- Withdrawal Limits: There might be daily or per-transaction withdrawal limits when using ATMs internationally. Check with your bank.
- Security: Be cautious when using ATMs in unfamiliar locations. Be aware of your surroundings and shield the keypad when entering your PIN.
Connecting the Dots: Venmo and International Fund Access
While you don't "set up Visa Plus on Venmo," the Visa card you link to your Venmo account is part of the broader Visa network. If you have a Visa debit card linked to your bank account, and that bank account is also used to fund your Venmo, then your ability to access cash internationally via Visa Plus ATMs stems from your bank account and Visa card, not directly from your Venmo balance or a specific "Visa Plus setup" within the Venmo app.
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
If you have a Venmo balance and wish to access it internationally, Venmo primarily facilitates transfers to linked bank accounts or eligible debit cards within the country of your Venmo account (e.g., the US). Direct international ATM withdrawals from a Venmo balance via "Visa Plus" are not a standard feature.
Therefore, to access funds internationally that might be related to your Venmo activity (perhaps you've received payments on Venmo), you would typically:
- Transfer your Venmo balance to your linked bank account.
- Use your Visa debit card linked to that bank account at a Visa Plus ATM to withdraw cash.
