How to find and share my Venmo link
Sharing your Venmo link is the fastest way to get paid, whether you are splitting a bill, collecting rent, or accepting a casual payment. Instead of asking for a username or bank details, you can send a direct link that opens your Venmo profile instantly, and you can even link PayPal to Venmo to move funds between the two platforms. If you need to share your link from a tablet, you can also send Venmo link using the same steps. Here is exactly how to locate and share that link from the mobile app.
Step 1: Open the Venmo app and go to the menu
Launch the Venmo app on your mobile device. Once you are signed in, look for the menu icon, three horizontal lines, usually in the top-left or top-right corner of the screen. Tap it to see the main options.
Step 2: Tap on 'Settings'
From the menu, tap the option labeled Settings. This will open your account preferences where you can manage your profile, privacy, and linked payment methods.
Step 3: Find your Venmo link under your profile
Inside the profile or settings screen, look for the section that shows your profile information, including your name, profile picture, and username. Your unique Venmo link will appear here, formatted as Venmo.com/yourusername. Note that Venmo usernames must be between 5 and 30 characters and can only include hyphens (-) and underscores (_) as special characters. This link is your direct payment address, and it is also referred to as your Venmo handle, the identifier people use to find you on the platform.
Step 4: Copy your Venmo link
Tap and hold the link until a menu appears, then select Copy. This saves the link to your device’s clipboard so you can paste it anywhere.
Step 5: Share your link anywhere
Paste the copied Venmo link into a text message, email, social media post, or any messaging app. Recipients can tap the link to open your Venmo profile and send you money immediately. Keep in mind that your Venmo link may make your public transaction history visible to others, so only share it with people you trust.
