Let’s recall that FSCS declared 30 failed regulated firms in default between November 1, 2019 and January 31, 2020.

FSCS is the UK’s statutory compensation scheme that protects customers of authorised financial services firms that carry out certain regulated activities. A declaration of default means FSCS is satisfied a firm is unable to pay claims for compensation made against it. This paves the way for customers of that firm to make a claim for compensation with FSCS.

Since it began operating in 2001, FSCS has helped more than 4.5 million people, paying out more than £26 billion in compensation. The Scheme paid a total of £473 million in compensation to 425,760 customers of failed firms during 2018/19. This amount compares with the £405 million FSCS paid in compensation in the previous year.
