When you enroll with Zelle® through your Varo app, your name, the name of your financial institution and the email address or U.S. mobile number you enrolled is shared with Zelle® (no sensitive account details are shared – those stay with Varo)(1). When someone sends money to your enrolled email address or U.S. mobile number, Zelle® looks up the email address or mobile number in its "directory" and notifies Varo of the incoming payment. Varo then directs the payment into your bank account, all while keeping your sensitive account details private.
(1)Enrollment in Zelle® at Varo is not currently available. Varo will update when enrollment reopens.
