Venmo ties every account to a verified phone number at signup, with no way around it. If you're testing a payments integration, setting up a business/test account, or don't want a personal number tied to a financial app, a rented number covers the initial verification.
Steps
- Rent a number for Venmo — an instant rental is enough for signup.
- During Venmo's signup flow, enter the rented number with its country code.
- Venmo sends a verification code by SMS within seconds on a working number.
- Enter the code from your rental's status page to finish verifying.
Instant or monthly?
An instant rental is enough for signup. A monthly rental only makes sense if you plan to keep logging into that account over time, since Venmo may re-verify the number on a new device.
