Banking Matters
The Financial Services Authority licences and regulates banks operating in or from the Isle of Man. Please click on the headings below for more information.
The Isle of Man has a depositors’ compensation scheme (DCS) which may compensate you if a Class 1(1) bank in which you have deposited money fails. Note that deposits with a Class 1(2) bank are NOT protected by the DCS. Class 1(3) banks are not permitted to take deposits in the Isle of Man. Please read the DCS Regulations 2010 for full details of the 2010 DCS (in operation from 23 October 2010). Deposit compensation schemes in the UK, Ireland or elsewhere do not cover deposits with banks or building societies in the Isle of Man.
