The Varo Bank customer service number in the US is 1-800-827-6526. Varo is a mobile bank without branches, so the other route is the help section in the Varo app, where you can contact support about your account. Have your account details, the transaction in question and any reference numbers from earlier contacts ready, and write down the date, time and outcome of every call.

Like most online banks, Varo Bank can restrict or close an account when its systems flag activity they consider risky: unusual deposits, a mismatch in identity details or transfers that look like fraud to an automated filter. Consumers here report that this often happens without a clear explanation. Ask Varo in writing why the account was restricted, which documents would lift the restriction and how and when any remaining balance will be returned to you. Keep screenshots of your balance and of the notice you received.

If the account was closed with your money still inside, state the exact amount and the date of the closure in your complaint. As Varo Bank is a US bank, you can also submit a complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). A complaint filed through our complaint process runs alongside that: we bring your case to the attention of Varo Bank through our own channels while it stays visible to other consumers.

Holds on deposits are the second big theme in our Varo Bank complaints. Start in the app: the hold notice normally shows an expected release date. If that date passes or no date is given, contact customer service and ask for the reason and a firm release date in writing. Keep the deposit confirmation, proof of where the money came from (a pay stub, a transfer receipt, a check image) and every reply you receive, because that paperwork is what eventually unlocks the funds.

Since sudden restrictions are so common in these complaints, it is sensible not to keep your only emergency money at Varo. If the hold drags on, put the amount, the dates and every contact attempt in your complaint here, and we put it in front of Varo Bank ourselves.

Lock your card in the Varo app the moment you see a charge you do not recognize, then report the transaction as unauthorized through the app or by phone. US rules on electronic transfers give you dispute rights, and they work in your favor the sooner you report, so do not wait for the merchant to respond first. Note the merchant name, the amount and the date, and ask Varo for written confirmation that a dispute has been opened.

For refunds that a merchant has already approved, the delay usually sits between the merchant and the card network, but Varo can tell you whether the credit has arrived. Add the merchant refund confirmation and the dispute dates to your complaint here, where other Varo customers with the same disputed charge can back your case up with their own references.

Not if it asks for your password, account number or a one-time code. Varo says it never asks for these, and fraudsters pretend to be Varo or another bank to get them. Be wary too of money sent to you by a stranger who then asks you to pass it on.
