    So, if I have 85k in an ISA and 85k in a S&S ISA with the same bank, are they both protected? I assume that the shares are not lost if bank goes bust. Am I correct?
    The accounts are only protected up to a combined £85k but provided there has been no fraud or error on the investment account the shares should be in a segregated client nominee account and the FSCS would only need to cover the lost cash in the bank account. Of course if the investment account held shares in the bank that just went bust that would be lost too!
    Excellent reply, thanks very much for taking the time to explain it to me.
