About Our Client

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is the UK's compensation scheme for financial services, helping people get back on track by protecting them when authorised financial services firms fail. FSCS is an independent free service which covers all regulated financial services in the UK. The Scheme protects: deposits in banks, building societies and credit unions; insurance policies; some investments and investment advice; insurance broking; mortgage advice; self-invested personal pensions (SIPPs); pensions advice; payment protection insurance (PPI); debt management plans; and pre-paid funeral plans.

FSCS's mission is to provide customers with a trusted compensation service which helps raise public confidence in the UK financial services industry.

The FSCS were set up in 2001 under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 and is independent of the... government and financial services industry. The organisation can pay compensation thanks to levies that authorised financial services firms pay. In 2023/24 they paid out £423m in compensation to 19,008 customers of failed firms. Where it's possible and cost effective, they make recoveries from failed firms to help offset the levies financial services firms pay. Since the 2015/16 financial year, they have recovered more than £310m.
