Is Leatherback covered by FSCS

At Leatherback, it’s important to clarify that we are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Unlike banks, we do not lend out your money. This is a key distinction, as governments require banks to insure their deposits through country-specific deposit insurance schemes like the FSCS in the UK.

Since we do not engage in lending, we manage your funds differently by prioritising their safeguarding. This ensures that your money is protected without the complexities associated with traditional banking practices.
