Your eligible deposits with HSBC UK Bank plc are protected up to the FSCS compensation limit by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, the UK's deposit protection scheme. Most deposits are covered by the scheme. This limit is applied to the total of any deposits you have with HSBC and first direct.
Any deposits you hold above the FSCS compensation limit are unlikely to be covered, unless under specific circumstances, as determined by the FSCS.
