Financial Services Compensation Scheme Limits

The FSCS financial services compensation scheme is a last resort. It's there to pick things up if your chosen provider cannot order their, and honour their obligations to you. In the UK, I think we have the most stringent rules, which here they're called the client asset source book rules or CAS rules. They say how and why any provider must keep your money as the investor has separate from their money. So, barring massive fraud, it's very, very unlikely that even if a provider goes bust your money would go with them.
