A savings safety-check up and Q&A, showing you how to ensure you're protected, maximise your safe savings, and the pitfalls to avoid.

It's not just your savings that are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme - it also covers investments, mortgages and insurance. The compensation limits are different to the amount of protection you get for savings, and vary depending on the type of product you own.

If your bank or another financial company sold you a product or investment that wasn’t suitable for you, you may get compensation if you make a complaint.
