How GO2bank™ Compares
We’ve compared GO2bank™ to two other online banking platforms that let you receive direct deposits early and deposit cash at Green Dot locations: Chime and Varo.
GO2bank vs. Chime
The best option for you may depend on how much money you want to keep in your savings. The Chime Savings Account pays 2.00% APY on all balances. However, you would need to also open the Chime® Checking Account. Meanwhile, the GO2bank™ Savings Account pays 4.50% APY on balances up to $5,000 (no interest is earned on balance over $5,000).
If you like using paper checks, then you’ll probably prefer GO2bank™. Chime doesn’t send you a paper checks. However, you can request checks to be sent to recipients online.
GO2bank™ vs. Varo
Your decision between the two may come down to whether you qualify for Varo’s highest interest rate. If so, Varo could be the better option.
The Varo Savings Account works best if you receive direct deposits of $1,000 or more each month — that way, you’ll earn 5.00% APY on balances up to $5,000, and 3.00% APY on balances over $5,000.
Meanwhile, the GO2bank™ Savings Account only pays interest on balances up to $5,000.
Varo doesn’t send you a checkbook, though, so you’ll probably like GO2bank if you use paper checks.
GO2Bank defines as:
GO: George
2: Second in position to the Crown of Hanover.
