CHECK REGULATION AND DEPOSIT PROTECTION
Before opening an account or placing a deposit, confirm the precise legal entity, its authorisation, eligibility, account terms and whether the particular deposit qualifies for Financial Services Compensation Scheme protection.
UK subsidiaries and overseas branches may have different arrangements. Do not assume an Indian bank's UK account has the same terms as an account in India.
