There’s a secondary problem.

If a user has money in their account and the app creator goes under, they lose access but the actual bank hasn’t failed. Insurance on the account doesn’t kick in because there’s no bank failure to mitigate, but the user still doesn’t have access to their money before.

Plus now my cats can’t dip their paws in when I pour water and ruin the drink
