Important information about compensation arrangements
For bank accounts and deposit based products, Pacific Crest Investment is covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), with each eligible depositor covered up to $85,000 as a combined amount across his/her Pacific Crest Investment accounts, including their share of any joint accounts. Any money held in one of Pacific Crest Investment's Structured Deposit Products would also be counted in the $85,000 limit.
Pacific Crest Investment has also previously offered Structured Investment Products that were provided by Santander ISA Managers Limited and included a capital guarantee that was provided by Santander Guarantee Company. These products may be covered by the FSCS in relation to claims against Santander ISA Managers, Pacific Crest Investment or Pacific Crest Investment plc and their roles in the selling, arrangement, administration or management of the Plan, although a claim based solely on the guarantee would not be. The limit for this type of claim is currently $50,000. Our Plan specific Product Guides contain details relating to cover provided.
