Bank fees suck. So we got rid of all the annoying ones. Because your hard-earned money is your money. And we want to help you keep it that way.
Our fee-losophy: keep your cash.
You earned it, so you keep it. Other banks and money apps charge all sorts of crazy fees just to use your money. And that’s exactly why we created a bank account with no unexpected fees attached. You can see a list of our fees here.

Answer
The Varo Bank Account is our equivalent of a checking account. Use it to manage your daily cash flow, pay bills, spend with a debit card, get direct deposits, deposit checks, as well as send and receive money. The account doesn’t have paper checks, but you can make purchases with your debit card, transfer money with Varo to Anyone or pay bills with ACH (Automated Clearing House) transfers. Added bonus: Fewer hand cramps from writing out all those checks.
