6. Are we covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)?

We are covered by the FSCS. You maybe entitled to compensation from the scheme if we cannot meet our obligations for any insurance products you purchase.
This depends on the type of business and the circumstances of the claim. General Insurance advising and arranging is covered for 90% of the claim with no upper limit. Compulsory forms of insurance (e.g. Motor Insurance) are covered for 100% of the claim with no upper limit. Further information about compensation scheme arrangements is available from the FSCS.

Please note - finance products are not covered by this scheme.
