Nothing discouraging about this online bank! I first got Varo for an extra account. After careful studying of all the features it is now my bank of choice. Varo really is a bank with checking and savings accounts. You can even manage other accounts thru your Varo account. With direct deposit you get 2 days faster as well.

I'm ok with Varo for my checking &… I'm ok with Varo for my checking & savings account but the Believe card NO. Like Chime credit Builder card they use false, confusing ways to think it's a REAL credit card. They ARE NOT! They are payday loan cards. I was not understanding that whatever I charge would be deducted as soon as my direct deposit disability hit the bank. A regular credit card you charge $200 but your payment is $40. Not so with these cards. AGAIN they are simply a payday loan card.

Varo is a good bank - for true online banking I have been with Varo now for over 6 years, I started with them while they were not an "official bank", but then transformed into one being backed by the FDIC, which I thought was great. They do not have the best communication practices in the industry, but I don't really need them that often, if I email them they will respond in 24-48 hours. With a good explaination, and usally will refer to their "rules" and such. I like the new feature send to anyone, I can now send Money to my husband, with out fees. I also enjoy the high interest rates on their savings account. If you are going to compare an online bank with a brick and morter bank, there really isn't a fair comparison, Varo doesn't have locations to walk into, or if they do it might only be in Utah or something like that. I do recommend them. I hate talking to people and going to the bank, so this is a really great option for me.

Not a Good Online Bank to use Been with the bank for two years and nothing is consistant. My deposit is nerver the deposited in my account at the same time each deposit. the websit always down due to technical issues. They put you on a waiting list for an Advanced. I been depositing over $1,000.00 dollar in my account from my job every month only for them to offer me a $432 advanced and payed it back on time only for them to drop me back to a $100 after I paid it back on time. You can never talk to an live agent.you just get the run around. And please don't think they go up your advance and you get the same amount every time no matter if you meet their requirements or not.

Varo has been great Varo has been great! It's a"REAL," Bank that offers a "REAL," Checking/Savings Account, unlike what other consumers believe. Do your research! It offers online banking at it's finest, in my opinion! Give it a try. I believe the fact that you can load money into it most just believe that it's a pre-paid card. It is not. That is just one of the features that is available. 😊
