We’re excited to announce that Varo Bank has been ranked on the 2023 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America, which marks our third consecutive appearance on this list.

A prestigious recognition

This prestigious list provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Our ranking on this list helps to solidify our position as a leading player in the fintech industry and demonstrates our remarkable growth.

“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with the fast growth that requires—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.” 

The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges.

"As the nation’s first technology-first digital bank with a charter regulated by the OCC, we are thrilled once again to have earned placement on the Inc. 5000 list of the Fastest Growing Private Companies in the U.S.,” said Colin Walsh, Chief Executive Officer at Varo Bank. “Varo is a techbank that has been built from the ground up specifically to empower Americans living paycheck to paycheck, manage cash flow, form savings habits and build credit. Our growth is driven by the opportunity our customers have to make progress in achieving a path to prosperity.”

¹ We will decline or return transactions when you do not have enough money in your account to cover the charge. However, you could still end up with a negative balance if, for example, a transaction is approved for one amount, but then the actual charge is more than what you have in your account (like when you add a tip at a restaurant after the transaction for the meal was already approved). This could also include preauthorized ACH transfers that are scheduled, recurring and/or pending but have not yet settled. If your account balance remains negative, activity will be evaluated and your account could be closed. Even if you have a negative balance, we will not charge you an overdraft fee.
