About us
The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is the UK's statutory fund of last resort for customers of authorised financial services firms. This means that FSCS can pay compensation if a firm is unable, or likely to be unable, to pay claims against it. FSCS is an independent body, set up under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA). Our service is free to consumers.
Claims are dealt with by our Claims Division, which is divided into different groups: Insurance and Deposit Taking, Investments and Pensions, and Mortgage Endowments.
The work of our claims teams is supported by the work of our support teams.
