Most consumers, especially next-gen consumers, don't have access to the tools they need to live healthy financial lives. They grapple with problems such as erratic cash flow, limited savings, and access to responsible credit. Banks and fintechs offer no holistic solutions.
We interviewed Colin Walsh, CEO and co-founder of Varo, an app that integrates basic banking products with financial health tools. Before starting Varo out of his guest bedroom, Colin spent 25 years working in traditional financial services companies.
Varo's mission is to improve the financial life of the customer. They want to merge big bank capacity with startup fintech focus to create a bank that helps people live better.
