With your Venmo Teen Debit Card, you have pass-through FDIC insurance.
Your USD Venmo funds are held in Program Banks, where they are, subject to certain conditions, eligible for pass-through FDIC insurance up to $250,000 at each Program Bank. FDIC insurance protects against the failure of a Program Bank, not Venmo. Venmo is not a bank, does not take deposits, and is not FDIC-insured. See Venmo User Agreement.
