Brookwell
Founded by Stable Money Company to bridge on-chain stablecoin yield with everyday banking.
Stablecoin neobank with FDIC-protected checking (via Erebor Bank, N.A.) and custodial high-yield stablecoin savings plus global-spend cards.
- Who holds it
- A sponsor bank behind the brand — not the app you signed up with — Partner bank: Erebor Bank, N.A. (Member FDIC).
- The ledger
- Split between a program manager and the sponsor bank — the modular setup that broke in Synapse.
- If it fails
- Any claim runs through the sponsor bank, and only works if the two ledgers reconcile.
Derived from Brookwell’s regulation type and custody — a class of protection, not a guarantee. Limits and eligibility vary by scheme, balance and jurisdiction; confirm before you rely on it. What happens if a neobank shuts down →
