Following consultation by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) is to increase its protection for deposits back to £85,000 per individual per institution (banks, building societies and credit unions) from 30 January 2017.
The increase has been prompted by the weakening of the Pound against the Euro.
