How to delete Venmo account

Venmo is a very popular mobile payment service that is owned by PayPal. It allows you to send and receive money using the app on your device, but both parties, the one who sends and the one who receives money need to live in the United States. Even though everything is handled using the app, there is one thing that you can’t do with the Venmo app, and that is closing the account. If you want to delete Venmo account, you can do it but only in the browser of your smartphone or using your desktop or laptop. Here is how you can do that.
