Varo Bank & PPP Loan

The online bank seems to be having issues with receiving PPP and SBA loans as the majority of its users complained of the inability to receive their funds at due time.

A user said: “My lender is Harvest through Womply. My status went from “borrower funded” to “womply processing ” this morning!! I reached out to Varo Bank they are not accepting PPP funds! I then switched my new bank account info on harvest. I reached out to womply for help, no response! Did this happen to anyone else? or do I have to go through the whole process again smh“

Another added: “I have seen people say they received funds into their varo account. some say their funds were frozen for a few days and they had to contact the varo fraud dept to have them released“

For now, We advise you not to use Varo bank in your SBA or PPP loan applications, instead use a walk-in bank so you can have easy access to make your loan complaints and have them resolved.
