What are the hours and when should I call?
Venmo operates the call center for this 855-812-4430 phone number Mon-Fri 10am-6pm ET. The short answer is that you should call on a Tuesday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 3,909 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
Automatically call when they open
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Venmo call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Venmo phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Venmo staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Venmo is Wednesday. The most busy day to call is Friday, which averages 23% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 3,909 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.
The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Tuesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday, which is 175% longer than the minimum. As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.
The best time to call Venmo
In summation, the best day to call Venmo is Tuesday. It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that Venmo staffs up on Tuesday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
Calling this Venmo Customer Number
There are a lot of reasons why people might need to call Venmo, from fraudulent transactions to simply forgetting their login information. There are also technical issues and compatibility issues, which means that Venmo customer service is likely busy. Despite that fact, the hold time for Venmo is not bad at all. However, navigating the directory tree can take some time. Once you get to the end of it, the actual wait time to talk to an agent is low, so I would call again if I needed more help.
I called Venmo because I needed help with resetting my password. My account got locked, and I needed help getting it unlocked so that I could log in and transfer my balance back to my bank card. When I called their phone number, I was greeted by a recorded message that thanked me for calling Venmo and encouraged me to go online and chat with Venmo either from their website or within the app. They stated that service would be faster if I chose one of these two options.
Then, the recording thanked me for my patience and started to run through my options, which included bank transfer issues, locked or frozen accounts, status refund, business profiles, etc. I pressed three for a locked account and was given two new options: press one for a forgotten password or press two for a code. Then, it told me all issues could be resolved online.
I pressed one, and the recorded message told me that, for security purposes, password issues have to be done online by the owner of the account. This could be done online or from the app. I thought for a second that meant that I couldn't get help from a live agent, which worried me because I had not been successful at using the app to reset my password.
However, it then told me that I could press 9 to connect with a live agent. I happily pressed 9, and then, it asked me if the number I was calling from was connected to the account. It was, so I pressed one, and it asked me the last four digits of a bank or credit card tied to my account. I entered the number twice, but it didn't work, so the recording told me that it was unable to validate info and to wait to speak with an agent. While irritating, this was fine because it meant I was going to get to talk to someone.
Then, it asked me to hold to be transferred and that the wait time would be less than 2 minutes. Piano music played, and I was connected within 30 seconds to an agent who walked me through my problem quickly. I would call again if I needed help because the wait time is so short, even if it took a bit of time to get to the agent.

There are of course other ways to contact Venmo customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.
Venmo Customer Service Live Chat
help.venmo.com - Customer Service
Use this link to connect with customer service via chat
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Venmo provides this option.
Venmo Customer Email Addresses
support@venmo.com - Customer Service
Customer service email address
Corresponding with a customer service department by email may not be your first choice, especially if your issue is urgent or time-sensitive. But email is a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, and Venmo will reply our your email.
Venmo Customer Service on X (formerly Twitter)
twitter.com/venmosupport - Customer Service
Use the link to connect with customer service through Twitter
Venmo, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.
Venmo Customer Help Desk / Web Support
help.venmo.com - Customer Service
Online customer service support
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Venmo customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
