UK financial regulators have fined HSBC £57.4mn for “serious failings” in safeguarding the deposits of some customers over a period of seven years.

HSBC took my bank account off me because I enjoyed a punt - didn't know it was illegal.  I'll never deal with them again!

The articles I read referred to "hundreds of customers with deposits worth billions of pounds" - so I doubt that's either of us Howard?

If that was the case I'd think that someone at the PRA would be getting the sack, for not noticing such a glaring error on financial returns.

As an aside I wonder if the trust holding Flutter's ringfenced customer deposits is eleigible for one 85k payout or mulitiple per customer?

I happened to be in one of their vaults where they stored trunks ect some of them were very old so I thought I would have a look to see what they contained.

looking some more  I think you're right longbridge. The accounts ( the majority of which were involved )  were in the non ring fenced accounts. The retail bank accounts were separated in 2018.
