Is ANNA FSCS protected?

ANNA is not a bank, so your money is not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). However, your money is still safe since it’s not used for loans, and is in fact secured by a procedure called Safeguarding that is applied to e-money institutions.
You can read more about FSCS and keeping your money secure in our dedicated blog post.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a business account?

If you’re a sole trader, then it’s a sensible move to open a business account. If you’re running a limited company, then having a dedicated account for your business is mandatory – because your business is legally a separate entity.

ANNA was created with freelancers, small businesses, and creative types in mind. If you’re a sole trader, a director of a limited company (and you’re listed on Companies House) or a partner in a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) then an ANNA business account will be suitable for you.
