Moneybox Simple Saver
I've just noticed that this account is described as 'Powered By Santander International', which apparently is the trading name for Santander Financial Services Plc.
Trying to get my head around whether that means money held in the Moneybox Simple Saver would need to be aggregated with an individual's cash in an 'ordinary' Santander UK account (Easy Access Saver etc) for the purposes of the £85,000 limit on protection under the FSCS.
Academic in my case, but not necessarily for everyone.

Details are here:It depends what product you have as to where the money is held and hence the FSCS protection available to you.

Were I to increase the funds I hold in either or both of those accounts and/or, as I mentioned before, an 'ordinary' (non-Moneybox) Santander account (Easy Access Saver etc), would I need to aggregate them in regard to the £85,000 FSCS protection limit?
Would Santander UK and Santander International (the trading name for Santander Financial Services Plc) be regarded as part of the same legal entity for that purpose?0 -
