Can you use a Savings Account with Venmo

No, you cannot use a savings account with Venmo. If you want to transfer fund to or from your Venmo account, you should use a checking account instead of a savings account.

Savings account aren’t usually designed or intended for transactions. They’re meant for long-term storage of money. In fact, federal law sets limits for withdrawals from savings accounts. The law is known as Regulation D.

On the other hand, having a checking account allows you to withdraw as many times as you like. With a checking account, you can write checks, use your debit card, set up electronic bill payments, or withdraw funds at an ATM easily and many times you wish.

At the same time, these types of transactions are limited to six per month from savings accounts as per Regulation D limits.

So, that’s the reason why you won’t be able to use a savings account with Venmo.

If you try to add a savings account to Venmo, you might get an invalid account error. So, better use the checking account to withdraw or deposit funds from or to your Venmo account, respectively.
