As mentioned earlier, you'll need your Varo debit card details for all this to work. If you don't have the Varo debit card yet, you can order yours from the app or website—it is free.
If you already have a Varo debit card, you can just go to the Home tab, navigate to View card >> View card number. You should see everything about your card from here, including the card's full 16-digit PAN, expiration date, and CVV. Just copy them and proceed to the next step.

After copying your Varo debit card, it is time to add it to Venmo.
To do so:
- Open the Venmo app and go to the "Me" tab.
- Go to the "Wallet" section.
- Scroll down to "Banks and Cards".
- Swipe to the left and tap on "Add a bank or card".
- Verify your card and add it to Venmo.
The verification process shouldn't take long. Once your card is linked, it is time to transfer the funds.
Step 3: Transferring the Funds
Now that you have your Varo debit card linked to Venmo, you can initiate the top-up process from your Varo debit card to your Venmo balance.
To do so:
- Go to the "Me" tab in the Venmo app.
- Tap "Add Money".
- Select "From a bank or debit card".
- Enter your amount and choose what payment method you want to use.
