Our Verdict
Crazy good offer, only downside is that it looks like they will consider this as interest and not a rebate and will report it on a 1099-INT. Varo is mobile banking app, they have raised $78.4 million to date. Given the account only offers 1.75% APY there hasn’t been much reason to open it but if these types of offers continue then that will change quickly. If you already have a Varo account let us know if you received this offer or not.
