Even if so many people are not endeared towards visible cash transfers, it is very clear that Venmo is experiencing massive growth and is well on course to take care of even more transactions in years to come. The fact that Paypal recently shared that it had about forty million active Venmo users last year should tell you it is no joke.
And, even if Venmo has simplified sending cash to friends, sometimes, it can be over transparent. So, it is great to know that some privacy settings can be changed and your online presence and payment history is not visible for all to see. Except you intentionally want that to happen.

Everything above will also happen the exact way when anyone deletes his or her Venmo account. No name will be seen in search results so there will be nobody to send payment to or receive payment from.
Also, the individual you blocked will not be able to search for your account information too. They will not be able to send payment to or receive payment from you.
And, the person will receive no alert, letting him or her know that they just got blocked by you. Some of them might even think you deleted your account.
