Read below the joint account policy of Venmo:

If you share ownership of a bank account with another Venmo user, you may both be able to use the bank account on Venmo. We are slowly rolling out a new feature to allow two Venmo users to share a bank account to fund payments on Venmo and initiate standard (or, if eligible, instant) bank transfers to the joint bank account.

If a joint bank account becomes invalid on one Venmo user’s account, it will be unusable (for payments and transfers) on the other user’s Venmo account, too.

What if you want to use both Venmo account simultaneously?

To use both Venmo account at a time, you will have to use a clone app for Venmo.

Most of the latest Android devices have a feature called Clone apps or dual apps feature using which you can create two Venmo apps.

If your smartphone does not have a dual apps feature, or it’s not working for Venmo, you can download an app called Parallel Space.

The parallel space app allows you to create dual apps for any app on your smartphone.

Once you have two clone Venmo Apps on your smartphone, log in with different accounts on each app, and this is how you can use Venmo with different accounts simultaneously on your smartphone.
