How the FSCS protects your money
The FSCS is the body which gives you protection up to £85,000 if your bank, building society or credit union goes out of business.
Does the FSCS cover investments?
The FSCS can pay up to £85,000 per person per authorised firm if the firm concerned has failed and cannot return your investments or money owed, and you lose money because of:
- bad or misleading investment advice
- negligent management of investments
- misrepresentation, or
- fraud.
The FSCS does not pay compensation if your investment does not perform as well as you hoped.
