About Venmo Charges
Venmo is a payment app that may appear on your bank or credit card statement as VENMO. If you see an unfamiliar charge from Venmo, it could be related to a transaction you made, a recurring subscription, a free trial that converted to a paid plan, or an unauthorized transaction.
Before requesting a refund, verify the charge by checking your Venmo account at https://venmo.com for recent orders, subscriptions, or billing history.
