Important information about compensation arrangements

Your deposit is covered by a statutory Deposit Guarantee Scheme. Arbuthnot Direct is covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”). The FSCS can pay compensation to depositors if a bank is unable to meet its financial obligations.

Arbuthnot Direct is a trading name of Arbuthnot Latham & Co., Limited.

Your eligible deposits held by a UK establishment of Arbuthnot Latham & Co., Limited are protected up to a total of £85,000 by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the UK’s deposit guarantee scheme. This limit is applied to the total of any deposits you have with the following: Arbuthnot Latham & Co., Limited and Arbuthnot Direct. Any total deposits you hold above the limit between these brands are unlikely to be covered.

For joint accounts, each account holder is treated as having a claim in respect of their share so, for a joint account held by two eligible depositors, the maximum amount that could be claimed would be £85,000 each (making a total of £170,000). The £85,000 limit relates to the combined amount in all the eligible depositor’s accounts with Arbuthnot Direct and Arbuthnot Latham & Co., Limited including their share of any joint account, and not to each separate account.
