We believe in making financial freedom more accessible to everyone, so we’ve teamed up with leading Atlanta entrepreneur Pinky Cole. Together, we’re launching a giveback program to break down barriers for Atlantans and help them become financially and professionally empowered.
Pinky broke boundaries to achieve success on her own terms when she launched Slutty Vegan ATL, the plant-based Atlanta restaurant phenomenon with a national following. She has since founded the Pinky Cole Foundation to support others in their entrepreneurial dreams.
We ran a community-based sweepstakes to give folks a chance to win some of the professional and financial resources for success.
Their prizes included:
Stay tuned for future Varo x Pinky activities!
We’re committed to celebrating and empowering the Atlanta community.
Supporting the up-and-comers
In December, Varo and the Pinky Cole Foundation supported more than 40 Atlanta entrepreneurs with the funds to launch and run their small businesses.
Giving back to Atlantans
To support the opening of the fourth Slutty Vegan ATL location in Duluth, we surprised customers with free meals and gasoline cards to feed and fuel the Atlanta community.

9We 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). 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.
