Add Money to Your Venmo Card

At this point, the transfer of funds should be complete. If not, go through steps 1 - 3 above to add cash to venmo. After the money transfers, you can immediately use your Venmo card to access those funds.
How the Venmo Card Works
A Venmo Card is a card issued by Venmo that allows you to access any funds available in your Venmo account. This card carries a Visa logo, so it's usable in any store that accepts Visa. The card draws from the funds in your Venmo account. That includes money paid to you by others and money that you add to your Venmo account.
If you don't have a Venmo card, you can request one in Venmo by tapping the card icon in the bottom toolbar. It may take several days for your Venmo card to arrive.
