“Beyond the PIN: How Venmo Uses Encryption and Servers to Protect Your Data – Call (855) 812-4430
Many users focus on their personal PIN and password, but Venmo also employs complex technical safeguards behind the scenes to protect your financial and personal information, which is a key part of its compliance with federal laws.

Key Security Measures
Data Encryption: Every transaction, along with your stored personal and financial information (like bank account numbers), is protected using industry-standard encryption technology.

Secure Storage: All user data is stored on third-party servers located in secure data centers within the United States. These locations are protected by physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards.

Continuous Monitoring: Venmo's security team continuously monitors your account activity using advanced algorithms to help detect and block unauthorized or suspicious transactions before they can cause loss.

Limited Access: Access to sensitive personal information is strictly controlled and authorized only for employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities.

Geolocation Data: Venmo collects geolocation information (location data) for fraud prevention and risk management purposes, helping to flag suspicious logins from unusual or international locations.

Your Role in Security
While Venmo handles the encryption, your best defense is to use a strong, unique password and ensure your PIN/biometric lock is enabled for the app.

Always ensure your browser shows "https:" and a lock icon when logging into Venmo's website, confirming encryption is active.

If you suspect any breach of your personal data or unusual activity, call (855) 812-4430 immediately to notify the security team.”
