¹We don’t hide our fees: www.varomoney.com/no-hidden-fee-bank-account

²Varo Believe is a secured credit card designed to help you build credit; however, a variety of factors impact your credit and not all factors are equally weighted. Building credit may take time and Varo Believe may be able to help when you consistently make on-time payments. Customers who had an existing VantageScore® 3.0 credit score showed an average VantageScore® 3.0 score increase of approximately 40 points after three months of having Varo Believe and no late payments on their credit. Individual results may vary, and some customers may not see a score increase. As of July 3, 2024.

³We give access to direct deposits from employer & government payers on the day we receive them, typically up to 2 days earlier than your scheduled pay date

⁴Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is accurate as of 7/3/24. Rates may change at any time without notice, before or after account opening. Start earning 3.00% APY on savings. To qualify for 5.00% APY (on up to $5,000) the following month, there are 2 requirements: 1. Receive qualifying direct deposit(s) of at least $1,000; & 2. End the current month with a positive balance in your Bank & Savings Accounts. Once you qualify, all balances over $5,000 will earn 3.00% APY

⁵The standard deposit insurance coverage limit is $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category.

⁸Advance is a small dollar line of credit. Qualifications apply, including direct deposits to your Varo Bank Account: www.varomoney.com/cash-advance. Information about advance amounts is based on April 2024 internal Varo research among single standalone loans with repayments of 30 days or less, no subscription fees or early wage payment requirements.

⁹Testimonials reflect real experiences of Varo customers. Results & experiences vary

¹⁰No fee to use U.S. Allpoint® ATMs. We charge $3.50 for cash withdrawals at all out of network & international ATMs. Additional 3rd-party fees may be assessed by ATM owner. All ATM fees will be charged to the Varo account used for each transaction

¹¹You must notify Varo immediately of any unauthorized use. See terms for restrictions, limitations & details

¹²Transactions will be declined when you don’t have sufficient funds. You could have a negative balance if a transaction is approved for one amount, but the actual charge is more than what you have in your account, but we won’t charge you an overdraft fee.

Ratings and reviews

I have been using this app for years and I have really loved it. recently I have run into some issues where I need to speak to a real person but they are unavailable. there isn't even a way to send them an email to talk about a potential dispute. someone keeps trying to use my account information in different states but because the transaction hasn't gone all of the way through, there is no way for me to actually file a dispute but people still try to use my account. will be finding a safer bank

Bait & Switch Bank Do not use their advance service it's a total bait and switch. As soon as you get to $500 advance they lower the balance to $150 for no reason once you pay. They charge $40 to do the advancement. They blame it on an automated system and do not have options to raise your limit or refund money. The believe card does not report credit card limits so it really doesn't help to build credit. Good luck if you ever have a dispute they will never fight in your favor.

They have really improved it's easy to use and well organized. The only thing I wish they would do is give everyone the option for a cash advance even if it's just $10 to start with. Some people can't get direct deposit so will never be able to get an advance even though there is money being deposited into our accounts. It would be nice to just have the option especially if we are long term customers.
