1. Varo Advance is a small dollar line of credit. To qualify for Varo Advance you must have an active Bank Account and qualifying direct deposits (QDD) of at least $800 during the current or previous calendar month. Your Varo Bank Account and/or Savings Account must not be overdrawn, and any prior Varo Advance payments must have been made timely.

Once qualified for Varo Advance, you will be assigned a credit limit from $20-$250, based on your account balances, the activity on all of your Varo accounts, your direct deposits, history of timely Advance repayments, and other risk-based factors. Your credit limits may step up gradually to higher amounts over time based on repayment history and other factors. Your eligibility for Varo Advance and your applicable credit limit are evaluated daily, and may change at any time. Your current limit is always available to you by tapping on Varo Advance on the home screen of your Varo app. You may only take one Advance at a time, and you may not add to an existing Advance until it has been paid in full.

Qualifying direct deposits are an electronic deposit of your paycheck, pension or government benefits (such as Social Security or Unemployment Insurance) from your employer or the government into your Varo Bank Account and/or Varo Savings Account. Tax refunds and government stimulus payments, person-to-person payments (such as Venmo and Varo to Anyone), and funds deposited using a Varo routing number are not considered a direct deposit.

2. Based on November 2023 internal Varo research among single standalone loans with repayments of 30 days or less, no subscription fees or early wage payment requirements.

3. Varo Advance fees can be found in the Varo Advance Account Agreement.
