This petition is now closed, as its deadline has passed.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Raise the Financial Services Compensation Scheme from £35,000 to at least £100,000. More details
Submitted by Keith Barber – Deadline to sign up by: 06 May 2009 – Signatures: 38
More details from petition creator
At present only the first £35,000 of depositors money (per institution) is protected in the event of a Bank or a Building Society failure.
This causes worry and uncertainty to savers which can in itself lead to a run on a Bank or Building Society.
By raising the compensation level to at least £100,000 it will increase confidence and stability to our banking system.
