On the Venmo web page, Venmo says no fees for using a debit card or prepaid gift card.

Are there fees to use Venmo?
We waive fees when you send money using your Venmo balance, bank account, debit card or prepaid card, so it’s free to use. If you want to send money using a credit card and still collect those points, our standard 3% fee applies. Receiving money and making purchases in other apps with Venmo is always free.
You’ll always be notified when adding a card with a fee, and you can double check any cards that you’ve added in your Settings > Banks & Cards.

And from what I have been reading, there are DCs which Venmo will simply not allow to be used. Look at fairly recent previous posts to see what ones have been mentioned.

Ive only ever added a WF debit to the account a year or so ago, never transferred money. Today I redownloaded the app to try and send money with my Amex SPG. Attempted to add and got the same "can't use this card with Venmo" trash. CS told me something raised a security flag and to try later or a different card, that she cant override it and there is no more info, sorry.
Seems like a dying service even for legit spend.

Does venmo count as a Direct Deposit for BofA when seeking a bonus for a new checking account. I have searched around, and there is no recent reports. thanks!

However, the only way to find out is to try it. Please let us know if it works as a direct deposit.
