Savings Business Finance About us Search Contact us Internet Banking FSCS protection Protecting your money Important information about compensation arrangements Your eligible deposits with Secure Trust Bank are protected up to a total of £85,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the UK's deposit guarantee scheme. Any deposits you hold above the limit are unlikely to be covered. What is the FSCS? Funded by the financial services industry, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is a guarantee for our customers that doesn’t cost you a penny. FSCS is the body that automatically protects your savings if the worst happens and Secure Trust Bank goes out of business. What is an eligible deposit for FSCS protection? Your deposits in your Secure Trust Bank accounts are protected up to a total of £85,000 by the FSCS and you’ll normally get your money back within seven working days. Importantly, the limit applies to individuals and companies, not accounts. This means that on joint accounts the limit applies to each named account holder. If you or the other account holder only have one Secure Trust Bank account, FSCS would protect up to £170,000 of savings in a joint account. Similarly, the £85,000 limit applies for each authorised firm. What is excluded?
