On the Sky News website it is saying:
EDIT: I see another thread on this subject started even as I was writing this. Appologies.
I'm sure this is not correct, but if it is I need to update the FAQ. Has there been a change in policy I missed?Under the Icelandic savers' compensation scheme, UK savers would have the first £16,170 of their money protected. That sum would be topped up to £50,000 for individuals - or £100,000 for joint account customers, by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
If the Icelandic scheme failed to reimburse UK customers, the FSCS would cover the entire amount lost up to £50,000.

Hi Reaper,
Sky actually changed the copy shortly after we noticed. We have been speaking with FSCS, Icesave and treasury all morning and so far this has categorically not been said. Full update is in the safe savings article
