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 is through one of our 55,000+ fee-free AllPoint® ATMs around the world.

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.
