An online bank account offers the features of traditional banking — deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and payments — without having to visit a local branch. Online bank accounts with Varo are convenient, efficient, and easy to open and manage. All you need is a computer or mobile device and an internet connection to apply. Even better, we don’t have local branches to maintain, so that helps us avoid charging you monthly banking fees. Win win!
You can open a bank account online without waiting in line at a branch. First, gather basic financial information about yourself for the application, like your full name, social security number, date of birth, and residential address. Next, download the Varo app from the App Store, tap "Get started," and follow the instructions to submit your application.
That’s it! The whole process should take you no more than five minutes. If you have any issues with your application, send us an email at [email protected] and we'll get right on it.
The quickest way to withdraw money from your online bank account is through one of our 55,000+ fee-free AllPoint® ATMs around the world. Besides the ATMs, you can access your money by getting cash back at any store where you use your Varo Visa® Debit Card, depositing checks directly using the Varo app, or depositing cash at 90,000+ retail locations using Green Dot Reload @ the Register.
Otherwise, you can transfer money between Varo accounts instantly without a fee, or connect a popular app like Apple Pay™, Google Pay™, PayPalⓇ, Cash App, or Venmo to cover everyday purchases.
Yes! There is no minimum balance required to open a Varo Bank Account. That means you won’t pay any fees even if your account is empty. Plus, there are no ongoing minimums required to maintain your fee-free status. Pretty great, right? Simply have your government issued-ID and some personal details like your Social Security Number ready, and there you have it, you’re ready to apply for an online Varo Bank account!
