Once your identity is verified and your account is registered, your funds on deposit in your Netspend® Prepaid or Netspend® Debit Account are FDIC insured up to $250,000 through your issuing bank ("Issuing Bank"), which is Pathward®, National Association or Republic Bank & Trust Company; Member FDIC, subject to certain conditions including regulatory requirements for FDIC pass-through insurance and the aggregation of all funds held on deposit in the same capacity at the Issuing Bank. Pathward, N.A. may place your funds at one or more participating FDIC-insured banks (www.pathward.com/programbanks). FDIC insurance protects against the failure of the Issuing Bank, not the failure of Netspend Corporation or co-brand sponsor. Netspend and co-brand sponsors are not banks and are not FDIC insured.
