The Earl Shilton Building Society

Financial Services Compensation Scheme

The Earl Shilton Building Society is a participant in the Financial Services Compensation Scheme established under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. Under the Scheme, payments are limited to a maximum of 100% of the first £85,000 of an investor's total shares and/or deposits in a Building Society. The payment is calculated by reference to all the Investor's protected shares with, and deposits in, the Society. Therefore, for example, if a claimant had two separate accounts with the Society, one containing £2,000 and the other £1,500, he or she would receive £3,500. However, your account(s) with us are not covered under the Scheme if you are:

• A large company
• A large partnership
• A large mutual association
• A local, provincial or municipal authority
• A credit institution
• An overseas financial services institution
• An operator or trustee of a collective investment scheme
• A pension and retirement fund or a trustee of such a fund
• A supranational institution
• A government, or central administrative authority
• A firm within the Earl Shilton Building Society group
• A person whose claim arises from transactions relating to conviction they have received for money laundering
