Do you mean they don't subscribe to the 80k protection or something like that?
- dazc 6y agoSorry, yes, the £80k protection is under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) https://www.fscs.org.uk/ https://www.fscs.org.uk/ Transferwise are not in it and say they protect your money in other ways... https://transferwise.com/help/articles/2949821/is-it-safe-to-keep-money-in-my-multi-currency-account https://transferwise.com/help/articles/2949821/is-it-safe-to...
