We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS can pay compensation to depositors if we as a Bank fail to meet our financial obligations. Depositors, including most individuals and small businesses are covered by this scheme.

In respect of deposits, an eligible depositor is entitled to claim up to £85,000. For joint accounts each account holder is treated as having a claim in respect of their share so, for a joint account held by two eligible depositors, the maximum amount that could be claimed would £85,000 each, making a total of £170,000. The £85,000 limit relates to the combined amount in all the eligible depositor’s accounts with the Bank, including their share of any joint account, and not to each separate account.

Further details of the Scheme are available on request or refer to the FSCS at www.fscs.org.uk
