current accounts?

Hello Folks. I was wondering if our current account was covered by the government as for those with savings even though it is not a large sum it is all we have. The non saving current account is with the halifax.

    Current accounts are treated just like any other deposit as far as the FSCS guarantee is concerned.

    Any deposit from an individual (called a retail deposit is).

    Deposits by companies, charities and other groups are not covered.

    Smile :), it makes people wonder what you have been up to.

    There are some exceptions for small companies (whose funds are covered), but essentially that's correct.
    Everyone needs something to believe in.

    I believe I need another beer.
