Outdated Cards

An outdated card may be one common reason why you can't accept Venmo payments. If a debit or credit card has expired, you wont be able to accept Venmo payments, more than likely. You will more than likely have to replace the outdated card with one that hasn't expired.

Insufficient Funds

If there are insufficient funds available you may not be able to accept Venmo payments. This is easy to understand. You can't accept a payment when there are insufficient funds for the payment. You can transfer money to your account to resolve the insufficient funds issue and then you can resume receiving payments.

Frozen Accounts

If a recent Venmo transaction has failed, you will get an email notifying you of the unsuccessful transaction. In addition to a notification, your account will be frozen until the funds are repaid or the matter is resolved. As a result, you will not be able to receive Venmo payments during this periods. Once your account has been unfrozen you should be able to resume receiving payments.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Venmo Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
