There is no FDIC for any bank that trades in social capital, as these banks are hypothetical constructs not subject to any law other than social conformity as dictated by society. Though, you might consider USA Bank of Social Capital an SRO, with a little 'o'. Thank you. -UBSC Dear Riordan

Thank you.
