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.
