The partner banks of fintech middleman Synapse are holding $180 million, which is associated with the customer accounts. However, the customers of fintech firms that used Synapse to link up with banks had a total of $265 million in balances. This means there is an $85 million shortfall between what the partner banks are holding and what depositors are owed.

The total amount of customer balances reportedly held by fintech firms using Synapse as a middleman was $265 million. However, the banks themselves only had $180 million associated with those accounts, leading to an $85 million shortfall.

The specific amount of the shortfall identified in the Synapse bankruptcy case is $85 million. This shortfall is between what partner banks of fintech middleman Synapse are holding and what depositors are owed.
