Protect your money with FSCS

Join host Nigel and Claims Specialist Caroline to learn about one of the lesser-known – but by no means less important – areas of our protection: mortgage advice and mortgage endowment claims.

“Most of us believe we’d never fall victim to a fraud or scam, but actually, it could happen to anyone.” In this episode, Gareth and James talk about common scams and fraud we see at FSCS, what you should and shouldn’t expect from us and the ever-evolving threat that scammers pose. 

How often do you check on the insurance, investments and pensions you have? In this episode, Amy and Steve from FSCS talk about why regularly reviewing your financial products and thoroughly reading the small print is so important. 

What do young people think of the retirement of tomorrow? And how can they make sure their retirement dreams are FSCS protected? Join Farah and Irene from FSCS as they chat about some of the insights we’ve gathered around young people and the retirement of the future. 

Did you know that you can nominate a trusted friend or relative to make your compensation claim for you? There are all sorts of reasons you might not want to claim yourself, so asking someone you trust to claim for you can be a great way to come direct to us. Jess and Denise explain the process. 

As the podcast has just celebrated its second birthday, we've been reflecting on some of the highlights so far. In this episode, Jess is joined by Interim CEO Martyn as he shares his choice of clips from the podcast back catalogue. 

We always aim to make it as easy as possible for anyone to claim compensation with us. In this episode, Gareth chats to Craig and Shade about the measures we’ve put in place to help our customers who have vulnerabilities so we can offer the most appropriate help to those who need it. 

Meet Buzz – he transferred his pension to achieve his dream of retiring early, but things didn’t quite go as planned. Here Buzz tells his story of how he nearly lost £60k from his pension pot and how he’d nearly given up hope of getting his money back – until FSCS stepped in.

Banks and building societies are perhaps better known, but credit unions play a key role in the financial services industry. Join Nigel as he chats to Robert Kelly, CEO of the Association of British Credit Unions Ltd, about what a credit union is and why they’re important.
