Paycards offer you so many modern conveniences – from shopping and paying your bills online, to having a Netflix® account, to sending money electronically with Venmo®. Venmo allows you to send money to your friends or family and quickly transfer money to your paycard after someone pays you, for a $0.25 fee.

So, you want to know how to use Venmo with your Fintwist paycard? There are only two requirements:

  1. You must be physically located in the United States

  2. You must have a U.S. cell phone that can send/receive text messages from short codes

How to Set Up Venmo with Your Fintwist Paycard 

Follow along with the instructions below to set up your Venmo account:

  1. Download one of Venmo’s mobile apps: iOS or Android

  2. Open the Venmo app on your mobile device

  3. Choose your sign-up method and create a secure password (between 8 and 32 characters long)

  4. Verify your phone number and email address – without a verified phone number you will not be able to transfer funds to your bank account or send/request payments.

  5. Add and verify your bank account

  6. Please note: Venmo will have you verify your mobile number by sending a short code to your phone. You must provide the code in your app in order to start using Venmo. Please follow along with the prompts when asked.

Well… You have a Fintwist paycard, not a bank account. What should you do? To add your Fintwist paycard to your Venmo account, read on:

  1. Open the Venmo app on your mobile device

  2. Tap the three horizontal lines in the upper left-hand corner of the app

  3. Tap “Settings”
