How to remove top friends on Venmo?

On Venmo, when you take hold of transactions with a particular person or an organization, then the name or reference payment info is shown on the top of the people’s list with whom you have made regular transactions in recent times. You might someday want to remove a person from your friend list, but you will see his name still appearing on the list of top friends. The reason is that you held regular transactions with that person in recent times.

The process of removing his/her name from the top friends’ list is an automated one. Hence, there is no specific with which you can remove a person from the list. However, you can perform some simple steps that are legitimate but not laid down by Venmo.

To remove top friends, refer to the steps below:

• To remove the person from the top list, try sending a few cents to your friend or any family member to whom you can guarantee that he/she will return back this money.
• You have to send this a few cents after every regular period of time.
• Once the transaction frequency becomes greater with the person, you are sending these amounts to, it will overtake your deleted friend to be the top person on the list.
