Banking / Financial Institutions & The FSCS

LOOsenD

:hello:Hello,

Apologies for repeating question(s) that may have been answered elsewhere in this forum. Please excuse the ignorance.

Given the current FSCS limit of £50k per banking institution. I found the following link:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/money/interactive/2008/sep/25/savings.providers

It has been somewhat helpful in identifying various banking licenses. Unfortunately, my understanding was that the NatWest was run by the RBS (so should count as a single insitution ?) but, the webpage above doesn't seem to recognise this ?

Could anyone kindly clarify this banking license or alternatively provide a link (for saving/compensation purposes) showing which of the UK's banking/financial providers are considered part of the same bank/institution.

Thank you.

So the question that should spring to mind is, "does Natwest have a separate registration with the FSA" ? answer YES

If your concerned you really need to check these things out with the registration database on the FSA/FSCS sites

Just found this great table on the FSA site, not seen in it before but just what we need and from the authorative source - the FSA it self. Shows breakdown of banking groups and licenses
