Aspiration
Aspiration partners with various banks to hold and insure the money deposited by its customers. These partner banks are FDIC-insured, which means that deposits are protected up to $250,000 per depositor, per bank.When customers open an account with Aspiration, their funds are held at one of these partner banks. Aspiration does not disclose the specific partner bank that holds an individual customer’s funds, as it may vary depending on factors such as account type and location.By partnering with multiple banks, Aspiration aims to provide customers with the benefits of FDIC insurance while also spreading the risk across different institutions. This helps to ensure that customers’ deposits are protected even if one of the partner banks were to experience financial difficulties.It’s important to note that while Aspiration accounts are not directly chartered banks, they work with established financial institutions to provide FDIC insurance and other banking services to their customers.
