Program Banks
If you have or use one or more of the offerings described below, your eligible funds will be placed by PayPal, as your agent and custodian, in one or more of the following banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) that we choose in our discretion (“Program Banks”) where they are eligible for FDIC pass-through insurance:
- Goldman Sachs Bank USA
- Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
Those funds are eligible for FDIC pass-through insurance against bank failure up to applicable limits.
We may add or remove a Program Bank at any time and without notice.

- You will not receive any interest, credit, or other earnings on the funds in your PayPal Balance account or Venmo account.
- FDIC insurance does not protect you against the failure of PayPal or Venmo.
