�50,000 Government Guarantee
6 Answers
As I understand this guarantee if someone has a number of savings accounts (say ISA`s) in the same Bank/Building Society all the accounts would be covered in total up to the 50K.
Someone has suggested to me that only 1 of the accounts would be covered & not all the accounts.
I presumed that all accounts would be added together up to the 50K and covered.
Can anyone clarify this point for me
Many thanks

It doesn't matter how many accounts a person has in the same bank or bs - if the bank or bs collapses the accounts will no longer exist.
The account(s) holder will get a cheque for the amount they had in the account(s) up to �50k, whether that is one account or several.
