## Description

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) safeguards customers' finances. It has protected over 4.5m customers and paid out over £2.6bn in compensation since 2001. If a building society, credit union or bank goes bankrupt, customers will receive automatic protection of up to £85,000. In most cases, affected customers receive their money back within a week. Our FSCS Deposit Protection Course explains which financial products and services are covered., the obligations for informing consumers and the levels of compensation available.
