This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.
Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema,
apis.json,llms.txtand similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.
- Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
- Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
- Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.
Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.
On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.
Full detail: Where this data comes from
Varo Bank is a mobile-first, FDIC-chartered digital bank offering fee-free checking and high-yield savings accounts, early direct deposit, instant cash advances, a credit-builder Visa card, and a personal line of credit. Founded as Varo Money and operating as Varo Bank, N.A., it became the first consumer fintech company to receive a national bank charter in the United States (2020).
- Varo Bank Account — Fee-free checking with early direct deposit (up to 2 days), 55,000+ free Allpoint ATMs, cashback rewards, and cash deposits at 7,500+ CVS locations.
- Varo Savings Account — High-yield savings at up to 5.00% APY on the first $5,000; 2.50% APY above that threshold.
- Varo Advance — Short-term cash advances from $20–$500 with a flat fee (no interest), repaid on next direct deposit.
- Varo Personal Line of Credit — Up to $2,000 with a single flat fee, no interest, no late fees, repayment terms up to 12 months.
- Varo Believe — Secured Visa credit-builder card with no annual fee or interest; reports to all major credit bureaus.
Varo does not offer a public developer API or a developer portal. Probes of developer., developers., and docs.varomoney.com do not resolve, and api.varomoney.com (the private mobile-app backend) returns a Cloudflare origin error. The varobank GitHub org has a single archived, non-API public repo. Internally, Varo has described a federated GraphQL supergraph over ~88 microservices, but that contract is not published; the graphql/ schema in this repo is a conceptual model only.
The only real seam for third-party programmatic access to Varo account data is customer-permissioned open-finance aggregation — most notably a native, documented Plaid integration, with data also reachable through MX, Finicity, and Akoya in the broader US ecosystem. Varo publishes no FDX conformance or CFPB Section 1033 data-access developer documentation. See review.yml for the full honest assessment.
