Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)
The Financial Services Compensation
Scheme is a safety net for customers
of financial services firms. The FSCS pays compensation
if an authorised firm is unable to pay claims against
it, usually because it has gone out of business. The
Scheme is funded by the industry and covers deposits,
insurance and investments.
The maximum
level of compensation you can receive from the Scheme
for a deposit claim is £31,700 (100% of £2,000
and 90% of the next £33,000). The maximum level
of compensation you can receive from the Scheme for
a claim against an investment firm is £48,000
(100% of £30,000 and 90% of the next £20,000)
per person. The maximum level of compensation you can
receive from the Scheme for a claim against an insurance
firm depends on the type of insurance policy. For long-term
insurance (such as pension plans and life assurance)
the first £2,000 of a claim is protected in full.
Above this amount, the Scheme covers payment to 90%
of the value of a policy in liquidation.
As a regulated business any claims
against Arch Financial Planning Limited which
resulted in or followed its liquidation, would
