There is little risk with regard to the borrowing counterparty. However, what about the bank risk?

To my understanding, these reverse repos are over-night lending. So, isn't the money sitting in a bank account during the day (until it is lent out again the next night)? If so, then isn't the money exposed to the bank's insolvency risk?
