Minimum deposit requirements apply to individual products. With fixed term savings you can’t usually withdraw your money until the term has ended. Easy access products pay a variable rate and fixed term products pay a fixed rate.

Withdrawals from easy access usually take one working day. Some of these rates may be offered by Islamic Banks which offer an expected profit rate rather than interest. More on Sharia savings.

When your money is in a savings product through Active Savings, it’s held by that bank or building society. If they were to fail, the FSCS will protect eligible deposits up to £85,000 per banking licence.

Keeping you and your cash safe

FSCS

When you add money to a savings product, it’s held by that bank or building society. Eligible deposits are protected up to £85,000 per banking licence. Any deposits over £85,000 with the same provider are not likely to be covered.

Account security

We use 2-factor authentication with automatic timeouts to protect your account alongside your usual log in details and encryption technology to keep you and your money secure. Find out more about how we protect your account.

Safeguarding

Money with Active Savings which isn’t in a savings product is held in the cash hub. Money in the cash hub is kept separate from our own company money in a safeguarded account with Barclays Bank, covered under their banking licence. As we are not a bank, it’s either protected through the FCA’s safeguarding rules if we (Hargreaves Lansdown Savings Ltd) were to fail, or the FSCS, if Barclays were to fail.

FCA

All our banking partners are authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority, regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority, and are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
