You confirm that you have entered the right username but the problem remains still then you can move on to these fixes. You can check for these issues one by one and fix it. What you have to do is:
Make sure your search query is right
First of all you should be confident enough whether your search is right or not. If you are searching on Venmo in the right way but still results are not showing then you should try anyone else’s Venmo account to search the same person. If it shows results then it is clear that the problem is within your Venmo app.

Sometimes a slow internet connection can prevent the search results from loading and it is not a new thing. This problem is very common. You can switch your internet connection to another one and try loading the page. If it does not work then move to the next step.

You can either clear the app cache in the app or from the settings of your phone. For this: open the settings of your phone >> go to “Apps and Notifications” >> click on “App management” >> tap on “Venmo” app >> click on “Storage” option >> tap on “clear cache” to clean the cache of Venmo app.
