CASH
It is generally considered wise to limit your UK based personal cash deposits in
any UK bank (or its group) to £85,000, where possible. This is the level of
cover provided to individuals by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme
(FSCS) in the unlikely event that a UK financial institution is unable to meet
its liability to their customers.
With cash invested through an offshore company there are additional risks as reliance
will be placed on the local compensation scheme which varies and may put return
of your capital at risk.
