Understanding FSCS protected deposits

What deposits are protected under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)?

Eligible customer deposits with NatWest are protected up to a total of £85,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the UK's deposit protection scheme. Any deposits that customers hold above the £85,000 limit are not covered.

The £85,000 limit relates to the combined amount in all the eligible depositors' accounts with the bank, building society or credit union, including their share of any joint account, and not to each separate account.

Find basic information about the protection of your eligible deposits with the FSCS here.

If you have more questions about the scheme you can view the FSCS information leaflet here.
