Venmo launches its first credit card with scannable QR code

Venmo is expanding its card offerings beyond the Venmo Debit Card to now include the Venmo Credit Card. This marks Venmo’s first credit card, which is issued by Synchrony and backed by the Visa network.

The card gives customers the same Venmo experience they already know , in an intuitive, easy-to-use card and rewards program.

Beyond rewards, cardholders can benefit from a clever card design that is printed with a unique QR code on the front. You can scan the QR code to activate the card and friends can also scan it to send you payments from the Venmo app.
