Venmo Sending Limit Increase

Venmo applies sending limits to protect users and comply with regulations. If you need to send more money, you can often increase your limits by verifying your identity and following a few steps. This guide explains how.

What Are Sending Limits?

Sending limits are caps on how much you can send in a single transaction and within a rolling period (daily/weekly). Unverified accounts typically have lower limits than verified accounts.

Steps to Increase Your Venmo Sending Limit

  1. Open the Venmo app: Sign in and go to Settings → Identity Verification.
  2. Start verification: Provide your full legal name, date of birth, and the last 4 digits of your SSN (or equivalent info if outside the U.S.).
  3. Upload ID: If requested, upload a government-issued ID (driver’s license or passport) and follow photo instructions.
  4. Link & verify bank: Add a bank account or debit card and complete micro-deposit verification if prompted.
  5. Wait for review: Verification typically completes within 24–72 hours. Once approved, your sending limits should increase.

Temporary vs. Permanent Increases

Venmo may grant temporary increases for specific needs or permanent increases after full verification and account good standing. Contact support if you need a special exception for business or high-value transactions.

What If Verification Fails?

  • Double-check that names, addresses, and ID details match exactly.
  • Try uploading clearer photos of your ID (well-lit, no glare).
  • Contact Venmo Support with details and screenshots if issues persist.
