Pass-through
FDIC Insurance.

If you have added money to your Venmo account using the cash a check feature, have bought or received cryptocurrency with your Venmo account, or you or a Teen User have been issued a Venmo Mastercard® Debit Card that has not been closed or canceled, or have used Direct Deposit to added money to your Venmo account balance (including to a balance associated with a Teen Account), we will place your U.S. dollar Venmo account funds at one or more Program Banks.


Any other Venmo account funds and all cryptocurrencies are not held in FDIC insured bank deposits. Cryptocurrencies may lose value. See the Venmo User Agreement.

FDIC insurance protects against the failure of a Program Bank, not the failure of PayPal, which provides the Venmo service.
PayPal is not a bank, does not take deposits and is not FDIC insured.
