"Important information about compensation arrangements |
We are part of [insert name of firm] which is based in [insert name of Home State]. Most depositors are covered by [insert name of Home State compensation scheme] compensation scheme which is also based in [insert name of Home State]. In addition, for depositors with our UK branch we have joined the UK compensation scheme, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). This means that if our bank is unable to meet its financial obligations, eligible depositors with our UK branch could claim up to £ [insert Home State compensation scheme maximum payment for deposits]3 from the [insert name of Home State compensation scheme] and if they have more saved with us, they could also claim for the remainder up to [insert FSCS maximum payment for protected deposits] from the FSCS. This is because the [insert name of Home State compensation scheme] is only responsible for paying the first part of the compensation up to £ [insert Home State compensation scheme maximum payment for deposits]3 and the FSCS is only responsible for paying the second part of compensation - being above £ [insert Home State compensation scheme maximum payment for deposits]3 and up to [insert FSCS maximum payment for protected deposits]. The FSCS will also try to help depositors with our UK branch, for example, to get in touch with the [insert name of Home State compensation scheme] compensation scheme and to understand the process involved.
