Sponsors are the owners for the accounts they approve. They can see balances, monthly statements and real-time transactions. They can also manage permissions on investing and Cash App Card spending.

If you have a sponsored account, or if you sponsor one or more sponsored accounts, your Cash balance and savings balance are eligible for FDIC pass-through insurance through our Program Banks Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and/or Sutton Bank, Members FDIC, for up to $250,000 per customer when aggregated with all other deposits held in the same legal capacity at each Program Bank above, if certain conditions are met.
