In most cases, FSCS aims to make payment within seven days from the date we declared it failed, on 26 September 2022. For more complex cases, which may require further investigation, we'll aim to settle claims within 10 working days of being notified of the issue.

If you have a balance below £500, you will get a letter to get cash over the counter at the Post Office. To receive payment, take this letter to any Post Office counter, with personal identification, as outlined in the letter.

If you have a balance over £500, you will receive a cheque. In both events, we will contact you by post in an unmarked envelope.

FSCS will receive information from Birmingham Inner Circle Community Credit Union Ltd that will detail your individual credit balance. Your payment will be the balance on your account on 23 September 2022.

If you disagree with the amount paid by FSCS, please call the Administrator’s team on 0121 454 0534, 0121 369 0930, or 074 6927 8739, or e-mail them at BICCCU@quantuma.com and they will look into your query. Do not return your payment to FSCS unless you are specifically asked to do so.

You'll need to open a bank account with another deposit taker (e.g. a bank, building society or the Post Office). You should bank the cheque as soon as possible.

If you need help in opening a Basic Bank Account, your local Citizens Advice Bureau should be able to help (details below) or visit your local high street bank. Further information on Basic Bank Accounts can also be found on the Moneyhelper website.
