Your Funds, Safeguarded
Covercy works only with licensed, regulated institutions — our own regulated affiliates alongside partner banks and electronic money institutions. Whether your capital is held in a US bank account or moving across borders to fund a deal or pay a distribution, it is always handled by a licensed, regulated entity.
The information on this page is general and provided for transparency. The specific agreements you enter into with Covercy and its partners govern your relationship and take precedence over anything described here. The institutions, services, and terms that apply to you may vary by product, location, and customer.
How Your Funds Are Held — US Banking
Covercy One lets you open and manage US bank accounts for your funds, SPVs, and properties directly from the platform. These accounts are provided by our banking partner and protected by FDIC insurance.
Covercy is a financial technology company and is not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided by Thread Bank, Member FDIC. FDIC deposit insurance covers the failure of an insured bank. Certain conditions must be satisfied for pass-through deposit insurance coverage to apply. The Covercy Visa debit card is issued by Thread Bank, Member FDIC, pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A. Inc. and may be used anywhere Visa cards are accepted.
Your deposits qualify for up to $3,000,000 in FDIC insurance coverage when Thread Bank places them at program banks in its deposit sweep program. Your deposits at each program bank become eligible for FDIC insurance up to $250,000, inclusive of any other deposits you may already hold at the bank in the same ownership capacity. You can access the terms and conditions of the sweep program at thread.bank/sweep-disclosure and a list of program banks at thread.bank/program-banks. Please contact customerservice@thread.bank with questions on the sweep program. Pass-through insurance coverage is subject to conditions.
How Your Funds Move — Payments

They also handle standalone cross-border and cross-currency transfers. In every case, funds are moved by a licensed, regulated institution.
