Varo Bank

A mobile only bank born in the USA.

I’m just mentioning this because there seems to be a wealth of fintechs poping up like mushrooms. All over the world.

I hope this doesn’t evolve to a fintech bubble, with crazy valuations like in the .com days.

Other than that I’m glad people decide to build alternatives.

The American banking market is in desperate need of shaking up. Chime are already doing that and Monzo are making moves that direction. Plenty of room over there for a few more FinTechs

Yeah. That’s a big place with loads of people. Plenty of room.

I just fear a valuation hyped fever with the increased public awareness. Fashion go to darling investments fed by the media.

I like peace and quiet. Definitely old fashioned.

On another note does #20 means you are the 20th person to get in? The shades gave it away

The valuation will only be relevant by the time they’ve actually proved themselves. It’ll be a few years yet before we know if it’s a bubble

User number, since we are all sharing :grin:

Varo is on track to become the first fintech startup to get a “de novo national bank charter”. This means they won’t need to piggy back off a partner bank.
