Deposit protection extended for mutual savers

Options
Thousands of building society savers who stood to lose deposit protection under proposed mergers will benefit from rules introduced yesterday by the city watchdog.

    Nationwide said that it would do so when it merges with Derbyshire Building Society on December 1, and — subject to FSA approval — with Chelsea Building Society a fortnight later.
