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

¹¹ The Varo Line of Credit is designed to help customers with unforeseen expenses with monthly payments, no late fee, no prepayment penalties, and no interest. Eligibility required. Once qualified for Varo Line of Credit, you will be assigned a credit limit from $600 to $2,000. A one-time fee is added to your borrowed amount. Your credit limit may fluctuate based upon a variety of factors. You may only take one Varo Line of Credit out at a time. Your eligibility information and/or credit limit is always available to you in the home screen of your Varo app.

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.

Best advised with the Line of Credit offering that even if you get approved, use it, and pay it back in full, never late, you can be refused to use it again. If your credit score drops or your direct deposit does, even temporarily or just choose to leave them for a different checking account, then they will pause your credit line just like their Advance. This is NOT a real line of credit, even though you get hit with a hard inquiry on your credit report like one.

Love this banking App. Helped me a lot while paying huge interest rates on loans. It took away the edge bills went up so much. I didn't have to graw my teeth so much. I could pay back with no interest. Also there are credit rating, giving you your score. This helps as well. Yes I would recommend this App, you can transfer between check and savings and checking and credit. Yeah. You can lock you card if it is lossed or stolen. Transfer funds from your brick and mortar bank to Varo. Try it out
