    Financial Services Compensation Scheme
    We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”). The FSCS can pay compensation to depositors if a bank is unable to meet its financial obligations. Most depositors – including most individuals and small businesses – are covered by the 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 be £85,000 each (making a total amount 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.
    For further information about the scheme (including the amounts covered and eligibility to claim) please contact us at the branch on +44 (0) 20 7297 4600, refer to the FSCS website www.FSCS.org.uk or call +44 (0) 20 7741 4100.
