Life can often feel busy and complicated, so keeping on top of finances can sometimes fall down your list.

You may have heard that FSCS protects deposits and savings from £1 to £120,000, but did you know we can also protect temporary high balances of up to £1.4 million for up to six months, following a qualifying major life event?

In fact, 1 in 4 people have either experienced having a temporary high balance themselves or know someone who has.

Big life moments can happen when you least expect them, so it's reassuring to know if your money is protected. The good news is that all you have to do is check.

Life can change quickly. Selling a house, receiving an inheritance, retirement. Major life moments like these can suddenly mean managing larger sums of money than usual.

You may know that FSCS protects deposits and savings from the first pound up to £120,000 per eligible person, per UK-authorised bank, building society or credit union. But did you know that we also cover temporary high balances of up to £1.4 million received as a result of a qualifying major life event, for up to six months? This ensures your money stays protected while you take time to decide what to do next.

Our latest partnership with broadcaster and High Performance podcast host, Jake Humphrey highlights the additional reassurance this temporary high balance protection can provide.
