How to delete a Venmo account from an Android device

As you’re aware, most Venmo users heavily rely on their mobile devices to conduct transactions, as it’s considered a handy digital wallet. However, you cannot delete your account through your Android mobile app. Instead, connectivity to a laptop or desktop PC is a must. For starters, you must be signed in to your Venmo website from your browser. You will have to take care of a few things before you can initiate the account deletion process through the Venmo app on your Android.

First, you must check your balance in the app as Venmo will not close the account if it has a remaining amount. Any outstanding amount must be withdrawn before you can proceed to close it. If you do have a balance, you can use your Android app to transfer all the funds from your account by following the steps below:

1. Sign in to your account from the Venmo app.
2. Select the blue “You” icon located in the upper-left corner of the screen.
3. Tap “Add or Transfer” right under your profile picture.
4. Enter the total amount of money remaining in your account.
5. Select “Instant” (for a small fee) or “1-3 Business Days” (free).
6. Choose the desired location (debit card or bank account) where you want the money transferred.
7. Tap “Transfer” to confirm.

This may take a few days before the withdrawal is complete but it’s vital to not close your account until you have confirmed it has no remaining balance. Once the transfer is confirmed, you can sign in from the browser and follow the directions to delete your account for good.
