Venmo: You blocked me because I’m abroad

Hey,

This is Venmo support. I understand you’re having trouble accessing your account and would like immediate access since a few payments were made to your account, no worries, lets see what I can do for you!

I went ahead and looked through your account and can see that, you recently took a few actions on your account from abroad. Are you currently not physically located in the U.S?

If so, then unfortunately, you will not be able to login to your Venmo account when you are outside of the United States. This is due to recent changes and improvements in Venmo’s security to better protect Venmo’s users and their accounts. I apologize for any inconvenience. In order to maintain the highest standard of quality and protection, a user must be located within the U.S. to use our services.

In the meantime, I recommend trying to sign up to our parent company PayPal, they allow international transactions, so you would be able to transfer those payments to your bank.

We will be able to further assist you with any login issues upon your return to the U.S.!

Hope this doesn’t cause you too much inconvenience, have a great trip 

Cheers,
