Using Varo to Anyone in the Varo App

How to safely send money for free

September 21, 2023 • Editors at Varo

Gone are the days of relying solely on cash or checks to transfer money. In today's digital age, there's a number of convenient and secure options available for sending or receiving funds with friends and family with just a few taps on your smartphone.

With Varo to Anyone, transferring money quickly and safely has never been simpler. Here, we’ll explore the features and benefits of Varo to Anyonewhen it comes to sending and receiving money.

Factors to consider

Before using any online or app-based payment platform, it’s important to review factors such as security, accessibility, fees, and speed to make sure you’re getting the best fit for your everyday financial needs.

  • Security: 

Protecting your personal data should always be a top priority, so make certain that the platform you choose is secure and features advanced encryption and safety measures. While you can’t always avoid attempts at fraud, there are a number of steps you can take to help protect your personal information and money, as well as limit your exposure to scams and identity theft attempts.

  • Accessibility: 

Choosing a payment platform that’s either widely accepted, or better yet, enables you to transfer funds with anyone is important if you want quick, convenient transfers.

  • Fees:

Check for any fees charged by the platform for different types of transactions, or even better, go with one that doesn’t charge any fees at all.

  • Speed:

 See if transfers are available immediately, or if you’ll have to wait several business days for the funds to settle.
