Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)

Policyholder protection







The FSCS provides peace of mind for you as a policyholder.


As Standard Life in Ireland operates as a branch of our UK parent company, policies taken out since
1 December 2001 are covered by the UK's Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) in the
event that Standard Life is in default.


This means that if you invest in a Standard Life pension or investment policy in Ireland, your policy
is protected by the FSCS, which covers 90% of the claim, without any upper limit.



For more information visit the FSCS website, www.fscs.org.uk
There is no equivalent Irish compensation scheme
