The money doesn't come from the Bank of England, it comes from the other members in the FSCS group (banks, IFAs etc).Just out of interest....does the Bank of England really have enough money to refund all the savers in the country up to £85K?

It's an interesting question as to how many 85ks the FSCS fund could accomodate, and the goverment would surely have to step in if there was another run like Northern rock that broke the fund?0
