    I have an ISA with Tesco Bank and now see that the management is transferred to Barclays although the ISA will still be in TESCO name. The FSCS protection limit is £85000 - Who is responsible for providing protection up to this limit - Barclays or TESCO Bank?

    I have savings with other providers which use Barclays for financial transactions and one provider that holds funds in Barclays at 40.16% so would like some comments on wether I am at risk if my savings exceed the £85K FSCS limit
    I do not have a Barclays account

    Thanks

    @Dgos Hey there, thanks for getting in touch! Your accounts and deposits held with Tesco Bank and Barclays will be within the same regulated bank, which is Barclays.

    You can read about how your accounts will be impacted by the FSCS deposit protection limit on pages 12 and 13 here, and it also has instructions on what you'll need to do to ensure your covered up to the limit across all your eligible deposits.

    I hope this helps
