Pass-through FDIC insurance

Cash App's disclosure, read on September 5, 2026, describes FDIC pass-through coverage, deposit insurance through partner banks. Coverage depends on customer identification and recordkeeping. It protects eligible deposits when a partner bank closes, not the app company itself. An app closure does not trigger that protection. The visible disclosure and notes provide the programme’s specific conditions.

Summary

Cash App is not a bank. Cash App says customer money is held at Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Sutton Bank, with insurance reaching customers as pass-through FDIC insurance at the partner bank, subject to the app's recordkeeping. We read this information in the app's own public disclosure on September 5, 2026, and this page quotes that disclosure below. You can check each partner bank's own page on this site.
