Seperate FSCS licence(s) for LTSB/HBOS?

Options
Forgive me if this is answered elsewhere - but, does anyone know of any substantive statement by LTSB, HBOS or HMG about whether the merged LTSB/HBOS will have single or multiple FCSC licences? I'm sure that many people with accounts with both will want to know whether their investments will be subject to a new, joint 50k limit for compensation. Thanks in advance.....

    None at the moment. However, LTSB did run Lloyds and TSB individually for a good few years after they got together. Lloyds also keep Scottish Widows on their own licence as well.

    So, you are probably good for a couple of years.

  • Apparently there is a plan being hatched to require different licenses but that should not be in place for a while..you're good for now :)
