Are my savings safe if HSBC fails?
Yes, your savings are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) up to £85,000 per person, per authorised bank or building society. This means that even if a bank like HSBC were to fail, you would get your money back up to that limit. This protection has been in place since 2017.
