If you do not have a Venmo account, you will receive an invite to create an account before we send your money. When you create your Venmo account, you’ll be presented with the option to sign up for just a personal account or both a business profile and a personal account. With either option, you'll need to verify your phone number at the beginning of the sign-up process.
Verifying your phone number:
When you sign up, a verification code will be sent to your phone number via text message. This text/SMS will come from a five-digit number (86753). Enter the verification code from the text message when prompted in the Venmo app/website to verify your phone number.
If you’re already signed up and haven’t verified your phone number, you can resend the verification code:
In the Venmo app, go to the Me tab by tapping your picture or initials
Tap the Settings gear in the top right
Select Account
Tap Phone Number and enter your number again
