Venmo won’t let me send money to my friend anymore, how can I fix this block?

First, make sure that your Venmo app is updated and your phone’s operating system is current.

Check if you've received any messages or notifications from Venmo—blocks often happen due to unusual activity, account limits, or verification issues.

Try removing and re-adding your payment method, or ask your friend to do the same, as outdated or restricted accounts can sometimes trigger blocks.

Go to “Settings” > “Identity Verification” and make sure your identity is fully verified to restore full access to features like sending money.

If you're still blocked, contact Venmo support to ask why the restriction was placed and how to remove it.

Their email address is [email protected], and their phone number is (855) 812-4430. They’re available Monday–Friday, 8 AM–8 PM ET.
