How to unfreeze your Venmo account?
Here are three fixes you can try out.
Make a payment
The fastest way to unfreeze your Venmo account is to make a payment using a supported debit card and remove any debts you might have on your account. Keep in mind that credit cards can’t be used to pay back a negative balance. On the contrary, if you use a bank account you’ll be shown an estimated date of arrival based on the bank you’ve used upon which your account will be reactivated.
Venmo might be down
One reason why you might not be able to make payments using Venmo or see that your account is frozen is that Venmo itself might be down. We recommend checking out sites like DownDetector or IsItDownRightNow or checking out the Venmo Support Twitter account for any updates.
Contact Venmo support
Another rather easy way or getting your Venmo account back is to just reach out to Venmo support and have them reinstate your account. Keep in mind that you might be asked to prove your identity and payment details so keep this information handy when reaching out to Venmo.
