description: 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 card, and a personal line of credit. Varo does not operate
  a public, first-party developer API or developer portal; its consumer banking data is reachable by third-party applications
  only through US open-finance aggregators such as Plaid (a documented, native integration), and potentially MX, Finicity,
  or Akoya. The surface catalogued here maps Varo's real consumer product family and the aggregator seam through which that
  data is accessed.

  name: Varo Aggregator Data Access (Plaid)
  description: The real, documented seam through which third-party applications reach Varo Bank account data. Varo runs a
    native Plaid integration that lets customers link their Varo accounts to external financial apps and permission the sharing
    of balances, transactions, identity, and account/routing details. In the broader US open-finance ecosystem Varo data is
    also reachable through other aggregators (MX, Finicity, Akoya, Yodlee). This is aggregator-mediated access under the customer's
    consent — not a Varo-published first-party API — and carries Plaid's authentication (OAuth-style permissioned linking),
    not any Varo-issued API credentials.
