Is my Eco account covered by the FDIC?

Your money is insured by our partners against theft and security breach. This is not the same as FDIC insurance. Since Eco is not a bank, your balance in Eco is not covered by the FDIC—and that’s the point! When you hold money in PayPal, Venmo or Cash App, you trade away FDIC coverage for convenience. When you hold money in some money market funds, you trade away FDIC coverage for increased interest return. With Eco, the tradeoff brings you both: better spending rewards and better return on your sitting balance, with the convenience of having everything in one place.
