4. Contacts from Facebook synchronized
5. Apps and websites from third parties

Let's examine each in more detail.

Finding Venmo users by name or username

Venmo users can be found either by searching for them manually or by using their name or username. These methods can be used with either a mobile app or a web dashboard.

Using a mobile application

• Activate the Venmo app by tapping the menu button
• The second step is to select the “Search people” option; you will see a magnifying glass icon next to it
• Type the person's name into the search bar or enter their username
• You should double-check their personal information after selecting a profile you want
• You can then choose to "Add Friend" or "Pay or Request" from there.

The desktop dashboard

• Go to Venmo and sign in
• From the Venmo home page, select "Search" in the left-hand menu
• In the search box, type in the name or username of the person or business you are looking for
• Double-check the personal information of the profile you want
• You can then choose to "Add Friend" or "Pay or Request." Note that you will only have the opportunity to "Pay" if you have a business account.

Scan the QR code of the user

An easier option would be to scan the other user's unique QR code if they are nearby.

• Tap the menu icon in the Venmo app
• There will be a magnifying glass icon next to "Search People" on the list
• Choose "Scan Code" from the menu. An interface similar to a camera is presented, including options for "Scan" and "My Code"
• If they can, ask them to share their QR code with you so that you can scan it
• The app will register the code once you place it under your camera
• As soon as the app recognizes the code, you'll be taken to their profile
• You can add friends or pay or request from there

Contacts on your Phone Synced

You can easily find the Venmo account for a person who already appears in your contact list if the person has a Venmo account. Syncing your contacts with your Venmo account is as simple as following these steps:

1. Tap the menu icon in the Venmo app
2. Select "Settings" in the list
3. Tap the "Friends & Social" option under Preferences
4. Select the "Phone Contacts" switch under Adding Friends
5. The Venmo account number will be added to the phone contacts, and new contacts will be automatically synced

How to sync Facebook contacts

The Facebook friends list can be synchronized with your Venmo account just like your phone contacts.

• Tap on the menu icon on your Venmo app
• Select "Settings" from the list
• Tap the "Friends & Social" option under Preferences
• Ensure the "Facebook Connect" toggle is on and select "Add Friends"
• Toggle the "Facebook Contacts" switch in the Adding Friends window
• Users will be added to Venmo by their Facebook friends, and new connections will be automatically synchronized

Apps from third parties

You can reverse search for a specific person with third-party apps like Social Catfish. It can then find their Venmo based on anything you provide, such as a name, a phone number, an email address, a picture, or their social media username.

Conclusion

In conclusion, you can find people on Venmo in a variety of ways. Depending on what you have on hand, you can choose one or more of these methods. Try reaching out to the person directly if you are still unable to locate them after using these methods.
