I withdrew my funds from Loot straight away. They were mostly made up of compensation I'd received from them.
They didn't appear in my bank account until about 10.30am the following day.
They are held with Wirecard, so were probably safe.
Loot was very amateurish. I had to take them to the FOS to get a matter resolved.0 -

No unless a subscriber you cant read any of the pages.
So, going straight to https://www.ft.com/content/5ed36cce-7c99-11e9-81d2-f785092ab560 brings up a paywall page saying "Subscribe to the FT to read: RBS-backed fintech Loot enters administration"
Copy/paste "RBS-backed fintech Loot enters administration" into Google and it returns an accessible FT.com link.
On the face of it, the URL is identical so I'm not quite sure exactly how this works, but after reading about this trick on here I've used it a number of times and haven't yet encountered any problems....0
