Keeping your money safe
We understand how important the security of your savings is, and this update means that in the event of a bank, building society or credit union going out of business, eligible customers will be protected up to the new increased limit of £120,000. This protection will be applied automatically from 1st December 2025, there’s nothing you need to do to initiate this. Your eligible deposits with Hodge Bank are protected by the FSCS.
