If you have questions about a specific transaction,contact us here. Please be prepared to provide us with the name and location of the merchant you paid, along with the date and amount of the transaction.

Why was the final amount (capture) different than the initial authorization?

There may be a difference between the amount that you see when you initially authorize a purchase, and the final capture amount. Some merchants place a hold larger than the transaction amount to cover incidentals or tips (such as "pay at the pump" for fuel, or at restaurants, hotels, and car rental locations), which will impact your available balance while the authorization is pending. If no incidentals took place, or you tipped less than theheld amount, your final transaction amount will reflect that difference.

Please see theVenmo Mastercard Cardholder Agreement for further details.

Why is my balance less than expected before the payment is finalized?

Right after you make a purchase (authorization), all or part of your Venmo balance will be held until the purchase is finalized (captured) by the merchant. If your Venmo balance exceeds the amount of your purchase, your balance will be reduced by the authorized amount to account for this hold. This is to ensure that there are enough funds to cover the purchase once it is finalized.

However, if the amount of your purchase exceeds your available Venmo balance, the transaction may be declined.

If the initial authorization was for a greater amount than the final capture, any funds held in excess of the final purchase amount will be made available within 30 days of completion of the transaction.

I used my Venmo Debit Card at a gas station and now I have a pending charge that’s much larger than I expected!

When you purchase fuel at the pump, your card will be authorized when you first swipe it for an amount that’s higher than the actual amount of gas you will likely purchase. This happens to ensure that you have funds available for the purchase. While the exact amount varies by gas station, the merchant often authorizes your payment method up to $100.

Once the final purchase amount (capture) is received, the authorization will beremovedand any remaining held funds will be released. Venmo has to wait to give the merchant time to complete the transaction on their end, but some merchants may capture and finalize the sale in under 3 days.

One way to avoid this large authorization is to pay the cashier for a specific amount of gas.
