What is never FDIC insured
Digital assets — including stablecoins and crypto "earn" products — are not bank deposits and are not FDIC insured, regardless of the app. They can lose value. Read the FDIC fact sheet.
How this relates to Kronos
Kronos is an iOS money app for gig workers and freelancers that organizes income records so the amount available to save is visible and tracked. KronosPay LLC is a financial technology company, not a bank or lender. Any savings feature in the app is provider-dependent: the current flow names the provider, rate, and terms. We do not publish a fixed APY because rates change. Read the bank-status page.
