FSCS open and operating as normal

We haven't missed a day of service since the start of COVID-19 and continue to deliver our claims service as usual. See our COVID-19 – FSCS update for customers.

 

We’re currently offering additional claims support for NHS key workers. If you work for the NHS and need our support, please contact us so we can discuss the claims process with you.

FSCS protects you when financial firms fail

Set-up by parliament and funded by the financial services industry, FSCS is a completely independent and free service.

You’ll keep all the compensation you are owed when you claim directly through us.
