N.Ireland savings and FSCS cover after Brexit

gilly56

Hello, if this specific query covered elsewhere on forum could anyone direct me to it please? (Returning Newbie here).
Are N.Ireland savings definitely still covered by FSCS after Brexit?  I have queried with two different UK savings institutions and the FSCS but just get generic confirmation that savings covered by FSCS. None of them say anything in their replies that includes the word N.Ireland? They probably are covered but am just seeking reassurance. 

Many thanks for any advice.

On the FSCS website it says:
"FSCS protection for UK-based customers of UK authorised firms will not change as a result of the UK leaving the European Union (EU)."
Which seems pretty clear.

Looking at AIB, they say explicitly that they are covered. So, in the first instance, ask your savings provider about it. Unless they have an offshore setup, they should be covered.
