I love this app!

I use Varo for everything! Super convenient and easy to use! Highly recommend to anyone for all your banking and financial needs.


STILL NO CARD?!
tmann97

I’ve been using this app for almost a year now and I’ve contacted them several times asking for a debit card to be sent to my address, still have yet to receive one. What good is this if I can’t access my money??


Do Not Use!!!!
Kikinoloveu

I’ve had my Varo account for about a year and it was really convenient until they randomly closed my account!!! I moved a large amount from my cash app(which I have always used with the account) and they are saying it was suspicious. I sent all required documents. I waited from Friday—Tuesday just for them to ask for more documents. Now I have to wait again for them to respond. My direct deposit is set up to this card also and instead of them rejecting the deposit they are holding that too. The customer service number is useless I have called them almost 2 a day for a week and gotten absolutely nowhere. Still moneyless. IThey all repeat the same BS “they don’t have control the fraud department does but they don’t have a contact number”. They’re response rate is ridiculous. One of the agents even argued with me saying I sent a email that I didn’t jus to come back and say oh you’re right. A few people I talked to were very rude and ready to prove me wrong and basically discourage me from contacting them. Also the documents they are asking for have nothing to do with proving who I am. I will be closing my account as soon as I get my money out!!! My rent will be late and I’ve even had to go without eating because of this!


Cannot open the app
cutelilgurly69

Tried reinstalling didn’t help. It opens then crashes immediately after a flash of white screen.


No hassle account
Bronxiebyc

To be honest I rarely write reviews but I have to say Varo’s checking account is truly seamless. I love getting paid 2 days early and the app is helpful and clear. I’ve never experienced issues with deposits. Only drag is the fee to deposit cash into your account but other then that I can get money out free at any CVS. Closer then my neighborhood bank. I would like for the debit card to have the tap payment feature but other then that I’m pretty satisfied.


Registration
m1rules

Don’t waste your time signing up with them. I’ve tried registering an account and I was rejected. I called in Support to ask what was the reason and they said they cannot disclose any of that information and that I just had to reapply. The reason why I think my application got rejected was because I recently moved and my drivers license didn’t match my current residence, but i’m not 100% sure because they can’t disclose the reason why. Don’t waste your time registering an application if you recently moved or your address is different from your current residence.Raul no experience just turn me off to the entire Varo platform.


Too slow, I don’t have time to wait on you
idonthavetimeforyou

I opened a varo account because my current bank is charging me $15 a month. I was skeptical about this online banking, so once I got my varo card I wanted to kind of “sample” it and see how I liked it. So I decided to transfer a very small amount of money to my varo account, so I sent over $6. I’ve been waiting almost a week now for SIX dollars arrive. It left my bank account, but varo won’t release the funds. This is not going to work for me I’m sorry. I have things to do. Y’all can Keep the 6 dollars that your holding hostage from me for no reason, I’ve already shredded the varo card. You guys are WAY too slow for my lifestyle, this isn’t going to work. Bye!


Great bank
Kieu1305

All the features and services are amazing, only wish there wasn’t a limit on cash deposits and hopefully options for ATM soon


Excessive Holds on Funds
Khajejeje

I have confirmation a check cleared the account it was drawn on, but Varo has placed a hold on the funds and has yet to release them into my account. Seems like holding onto funds is how they pay their higher interest rates?


It’s great ☺️
kks life

I have had this car for 6 months now and I use it for order things online and when ever I go out to eat! I love how easy it is to put money in it and also to take it out!! Ima be trying the saving account but I know I won’t regret it!!! I recommend this to my younger sister cause she didn’t have a bank card and I helped her sign up and was satisfied hopefully it keeps staying this great!
