About the financial services compensation scheme:

Kent Reliance is a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS, set up under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, may cover your account. We are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). The FSCS can pay compensation to depositors if a bank/building society in the UK is unable to meet its financial obligations. Most depositors - including most individuals and small businesses - are covered by the Scheme.

In respect of deposits, an eligible depositor is entitled to claim up to the greater of £50,000 and €50,000. For joint accounts each account holder is treated as having a claim in respect of their share so, for a joint account held by two eligible depositors, the maximum amount that could be claimed would be the greater of £50,000 and €50,000 each (making a total of the greater of £100,000 and €100,000). The limit (the greater of £50,000 and €50,000) relates to the combined amount in all the eligible depositor’s accounts with the Society, including their share of any joint account, and not to each separate account.
