Security and deposit guarantee

Deposits are eligible for protection by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) http://www.fscs.org.uk/. The FSCS is the United Kingdom’s statutory deposit guarantee scheme that covers deposits in individual savings accounts up to £85,000, per banking group regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or the Prudential Regulation Authority. It is available for deposits with most UK high-street and online banks and means if the bank fails, and deposits become unavailable, the scheme may cover your deposit account deposit up to the £85,000 per person, per banking group limit.

Compensation limits are per person per firm, not per deposit. Be aware that if you have other deposits with this bank (or banking group) then the £85,000 protection applies only to eligible deposits up to this limit.

Timescales for the return of your money can vary between different banks and banking groups. This bank holds funds under a trust model. Funds held under a trust model can take up to three months to be returned, but in most cases will be returned sooner than this.’ and vice versa.

The FSCS covers deposits in savings accounts up to £85,000, or £170,000 if you have a joint account, and investments up to £85,000 per person, per banking group regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority or the Prudential Regulation Authority. It’s available for deposits with most UK high-street and online banks and means if the bank fails and deposits become unavailable, then the scheme will cover your savings account deposit up to the £85,000 per person per banking group limit.

The FSCS will pay compensation up to the limit of £85,000 per person, per authorised institution/banking group. However, if each of the banks is covered by a single authorisation within a group, the FSCS will only pay compensation up to a total limit of £85,000 once. This limit will be for the total of all the accounts you have with the different bank brands under the authorisation, irrespective of how many different institutions a person holds accounts with.

Raisin UK will always let you know which products are within the same banking group, so you can make informed decisions as to which products are right for you.
