Navigating Regulated Activities and Personal Investment

Financial institutions like banks have sometimes failed, so we want to know what happens to your money if they do. It’s a legitimate fear so we’re sitting down with Emma Barrow from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS are the ‘last resort’ who will pay you back your money if your bank fails, up to £85,000 per person per bank - but it’s a bit more complicated than that.

If you purchase a product or service using one of the links above, we may receive a commission. There will be no additional charge for you. Remember investments can fall and rise - and past performance is no guarantee of future results. Other fees may apply. Your money is at risk.

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research. We really encourage that because no one cares more about your money than you and if you learn the basics then it will change your life.
