The deposit protection limit for savers if their bank or building society fails could be raised to £110,000.

The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), which supervises financial institutions, has proposed increasing the limit of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) from £85,000.

If firms go bust and cannot pay claims, the scheme can step in to fund compensation. If taken forward, the limit would apply to firms that fail from December 1.
