If you have a check you need to deposit, you can use the Varo mobile app to do it from the comfort of your home or on the go. Simply endorse the check by signing your name on the back and take a clear photo of the front and back of the check.
Once you have taken the photos, follow the instructions in the Varo app to complete the deposit. The funds will be added to your Varo card within 1-2 business days. It’s important to note that there is a limit of $5,000 per day and $10,000 per month for mobile check deposits.
Direct Deposit
If your employer or other sources offer direct deposit, you can have your funds deposited directly into your Varo card. This is a convenient and secure way to add money to your card without having to take any additional steps.
To set up direct deposit, provide your employer or the source of the deposits with your Varo account and routing numbers. Once you have completed the setup, the funds will be automatically deposited into your Varo card on the designated payday or deposit date.
Mobile Transfer from Another Bank Account
If you have another bank account, you can transfer funds to your Varo card using the Varo mobile app. Simply link your external bank account to your Varo account, enter the amount you want to transfer, and initiate the transaction.
