🏦 The day is finally here – today we announced that we were granted a national bank charter from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and secured regulatory approvals from the FDIC and Federal Reserve to open Varo Bank N.A. This is the first ever national bank charter granted to a US consumer fintech and will allow Varo to offer customers comprehensive, FDIC-insured banking services. What does this actually mean? We’ll be able to move to our new cutting-edge technology stack and innovate across a range of financial products to ultimately improve the financial health of the millions of Americans who have been overlooked and underserved by the traditional financial system. #banking #financialinclusion #mobilebanking #challengerbank #varobank
