Podcast: The inside story of America’s first mobile-only bank

Considering that smartphone apps are just a dozen years old, the technology has exploded far beyond anything Steve Jobs might’ve imagined when he unveiled the first iPhone. Now in 2019, the reality of mobile-centric banking has arrived, with Varo Money already delighting customers to the tune of 13,000-plus five star reviews on the App Store and Google Play.

Colin Walsh, Varo’s CEO and co-founder, describes the journey from blueprint to charter, and how Varo hopes to help millions of customers improve their financial lives.

Nominations are now open for the 2019 BAI Global Innovation Awards.
