The FSCS is the United Kingdom’s statutory deposit guarantee scheme. If an FSCS-protected bank fails or is unable to meet its financial obligations, the FSCS can provide compensation for eligible customer deposits up to a limit of £85,000 per person, per bank. The FSCS’ £85,000 protection limit applies to all deposits held with a bank (including current and savings accounts), as well as any deposits held with intermediaries of the same bank (for example, where a bank operates multiple banks under different trading names).
