Track Your Spending in Real Time with Transaction Alerts

We have released our new Transaction Alerts feature to help you track your money in real time. It was a top-voted feature request from customers in our Suggest a Feature—and we’re thrilled to make it live.

What are Varo Transaction Alerts?

Every time money moves in or out of your Varo Bank Account—whether that’s a purchase with your Varo Visa® Debit Card or a direct deposit, debit, or transfer—we’ll send you a notification showing you the details of the transaction and your updated balance.

You can easily turn this feature on or off under Notifications in the app’s Settings menu.

Why is real-time money tracking important?

Debit cards and electronic payments are the most prevalent ways to make transactions these days—and it can be too easy to use a card or make a payment and not know what’s happening to your balance.

Enter technology.

By enabling Transaction Alerts through the Varo app, you can develop a more accurate daily view of your money and balance—and that awareness can help you budget better, see where your money is going, and identify any spending issues.

It’s just one more way we’re living our mission to improve the financial health of everyone, one step at a time. Turn it on today and let us know how it’s going.
