A Rewards Experience Personalized to Fit Your Spending. The card provides a unique, intelligent rewards system capable of managing and personalizing your spending habits. You’ll earn up to 3% cash back* on your top spend category, up to 2% back on the second highest, and 1% back on all other purchases you make. What sets the Venmo Credit Card apart is that it maximizes the cash back you earn, automatically adjusting your top spend categories each statement period based on where you spend the most.

Rewards can be earned from eight different spending categories: Grocery, Bills & Utilities, Health & Beauty, Gas, Entertainment, Dining & Nightlife, Transportation, and Travel. Your cash back is automatically added to your account with Venmo, giving you the freedom to choose how you use the funds - make statement payments, send money to your Venmo friends with the Venmo app, make purchases at millions of online and mobile retailers that accept Venmo at checkout, or transfer those funds to your linked bank account or debit card. 

Easily Track and Manage Your Finances. The Venmo Credit Card allows you to easily manage your card and spending right in the Venmo app. Track activity in real-time organized by spending categories, split and share purchases, view cash back status, make payments, manage the credit card and more – all in the app. You can also choose to receive real-time alerts to see when and where purchases are made, and when cash back is applied to your account.

Custom Card, Designed Just for You. If approved, your card will be printed with your unique QR code on the front, creating a distinct card design for each customer.

And with five vibrant, colorful designs, you can choose the card that fits your style. 

Shop Virtually. You’ll also have access to a virtual card, which allows you to shop online anytime - even before your physical card arrives in the mail.

Safer, Touch-Free Payments. The Venmo Credit Card comes equipped with an RFID-enabled chip, so customers can tap to pay at the point-of-sale, allowing for minimal contact, instead of inserting the chip or swiping their card at the POS.

Worry-Free Card Management. If your card is lost or stolen, you can quickly and easily freeze your physical card directly from the app and continue to use your virtual card to shop online. 

Powered by Visa. The Venmo Credit Card offers cardholder benefits including Visa’s Zero Liability Policy[1], which protects cardholders from being responsible for unauthorized charges made with their account or account information, in addition to emergency cash transfers, and travel protection services.

Plus, there’s no annual fee** or foreign transaction fees.

How do I avoid Venmo fees?

How Do I Avoid Fees on Venmo? To avoid some Venmo fees, a user can make small adjustments to their in-app transactions. To avoid the 3% fee for using a credit card to send money, users can draw funds from their Venmo balance, bank account or debit card instead of using their credit card.
