The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) declared 12 companies in default during August and September 2021.
These include nine financial advisory, life insurance and pension firms, two forex trading businesses, and a car dealership.
Sarah Marin, chief customer officer at FSCS, said: “FSCS is here to contribute to financial stability in the UK. FSCS protection increases consumer confidence when buying financial products and services, and our compensation helps put customers back on track should financial firms fail.
