Reasons to Delete Your Venmo Account

If you have a Venmo account that you no longer use, it's a smart idea to remove your private data or delete the account altogether. Otherwise, your personal data associated with the account could give attackers answers to your security questions on other websites.

Data breaches are common in this age. The last thing you want is to expose yourself to potential attacks with an account that you probably aren't even using. So, whether you're switching to an alternative like PayPal or are planning to open another account with a different email address, it's best to delete your old Venmo account first.
