Fidelity Corporate Services
What this means for you
Because Fidelity Corporate Services has been declared in default, you can't complain via the Financial Ombudsman Service in the normal way. Instead, eligible customers can apply to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme for compensation.
Background
Fidelity Corporate Services (FRN 300411) was declared in default by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme on 21 April 2011. The firm's product types were not specified in available records, limiting clarity on the scope of its financial services offerings. Former customers may be entitled to FSCS compensation, though the applicable limits depend on the specific products involved, with standard cover extending to £85,000 for investments, mortgages, and deposits, or 90 per cent of claims for insurance policies.
