*The FSCS can pay compensation to depositors if a building society or bank is unable to meet its financial obligations and is covered by the scheme. Most depositors including most individuals and small businesses are 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 of £170,000). The £85,000 limit relates to the combined amount in all the eligible depositor’s accounts including their share of any joint account, and not to each separate account.
