Question 1

Why is the money I sent on hold?

Accepted Answer

There are several reasons for holding your payment. But the main reason is that Venmo is just verifying that you sent the money to that individual. However, it is doing so because you are not an active user who is doing transactions.

Question 2

How to avoid payment holds?

Accepted Answer

We know that selling services and products often carries some kind of financial risk. To maintain the cash flow with ease, Venmo has designed its application in that way so that your payment will be done automatically. However, it is not in our hands to avoid automated transactions.

Question 3

How long does a pending payment take to resolve?

Accepted Answer

Venmo usually clears all payments within one to three business days. But if it requires more verification, it will delay the transaction.
