But money stored in Venmo or CashApp or Apple Cash is not being held in a traditional bank account. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures bank accounts up to $250,000. The alert comes several weeks after the failure of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank, which all experienced bank runs after fearful customers with uninsured deposits pulled their money en masse. NEW YORK (AP) - Customers of Venmo, PayPal and CashApp should not store their money with those apps for the long term because the funds might not be safe during a crisis, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau warned Thursday.
