Our own Das (Prasanth) Mohandas, Chief Lending Officer and General Manager, recently joined a PYMNTS conversation to discuss decoding consumer attitudes and how Varo is engaging with consumers in this credit economy. Here are key takeaways that Das shared: • Consumers are more debt-conscious and value simplicity. Our data shows that customers with lower credit are more precise with their budgeting, and often are looking for a simplified financial solution that helps them manage specific transactions than dealing with bulk of debt. • Cash flow underwriting can help a new generation of borrowers. Varo uses a cash flow underwriting approach, which allows us to identify creditworthy customers who might be overlooked by traditional credit scoring models. • First-party data is crucial for personalized offers. Varo uses traditional and cash flow data to understand customer financial habits, enabling more tailored guidance and product options. Watch the full conversation below to learn more.

We’re committed to building a more inclusive financial system—one where equity, access, and belonging are at the core of how we serve our customers and grow together.

Exciting discussion yesterday on the PYMNTS panel, How Gen Z Is Rewriting Retail Banking's Rules featuring our CEO, Gavin Michael. A key takeaway from Gavin, "Gen Z isn’t just digital-first—they’re digital-native. And that’s exactly why Varo was built as a digital-only national bank, not retrofitted from a traditional one. Gen Z consumers want fast, flexible access to money—on their terms. We’re built to show up wherever they are. Our belief is this: Gen Z’s expectations are driving the future of banking and Varo is already here. It’s better banking that benefits everyone." It's clear digital-native customers are shaping the future of finance. Gen Z doesn’t want legacy credit products with fine print. They want products that fit into their lifestyle and support their goals, with tools that help them smooth their cash flow, avoid hidden fees, and build healthy financial habits that lasts. At Varo, we believe that fast, flexible, and transparent financial products that are aligned with our customer’s lifestyle just makes sense. As an all-digital bank, nationally-chartered bank, Varo is there to meet these needs because we believe in better banking for everyone. #GenZ #Banking #Fintech #Innovation #DigitalBanking #Varo https://lnkd.in/dHtxdAf2
