Important information about compensation arrangements.

Clydesdale Bank PLC is a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), the UK’s deposit guarantee scheme. The FSCS can pay compensation to customers if they are eligible and a regulated firm is unable to pay claims against it, usually if the firm stops trading or is insolvent. Compensation limits apply depending on the type of claim.

Persons dealing with any member of the Group outside the UK should be aware that they may not be covered by the rules and regulations applicable for the protection of investors in the UK and should seek advice in the relevant territory.

Your eligible deposits with Clydesdale Bank PLC are protected up to a total of £85,000.

This limit is applied to the total of any deposits you have with the following: Clydesdale Bank, Yorkshire Bank, B and Virgin Money. Any total deposits you hold above the limit between these brands are unlikely to be covered.

For more information you can download the FSCS leaflet or for further information visit the FSCS website.

We respect the privacy of personal email accounts and we store your email addresses just as securely as other personal information. Your details will not be passed to any organisation outside the Group for marketing purposes without your consent.

We may use email in response to enquiries you make about our services or service issues.

We will NEVER contact customers via email asking to supply any confidential information, telephone or internet banking login details.

When you register details and are logged into our internet banking we use a secure server. Any data you give us when you are logged into the internet banking service is encrypted using a 'Secure Socket Layer' (SSL) session. SSL is an industry standard and is one of the best ways to ensure internet messages are not intercepted. You should be aware, however, that some older browsers cannot use SSL. If your browser does not support 128 bit encryption (or higher) you will not be able to log into or use our internet banking service.

Apart from things we do to protect you there are things that you can also do to protect yourself while using our internet banking service. For more information regarding security please go to Fraud prevention and security centre.

Our general email enquiry forms are not sent via an encrypted channel and for this reason we ask that you do not include confidential information when using them (such as bank account details).

Messages sent and received via the message service when you are logged into your accounts via our internet banking service are encrypted and therefore secure.

While we use SSL encryption to protect internet banking user information online, we will use all reasonable endeavours to protect user information off-line. However, any personal details or other information entered onto or submitted through the Site or by email to us is entered or transmitted at the user's risk and we shall not be liable for any such information being intercepted or accessed by any third party without our knowledge.

We may work with third parties to research certain usage and activities on our Site on our behalf. No personal information about you is shared except to the extent it is required to be used by a third party or parties for providing such research, and in the course of conducting this research we, and/or these third parties may place a unique "cookie" on your browser.

More details about the use of cookies can be found in the Fair Processing Notice. For more information of the types of cookies we use on our Site, see our Cookie policy.
