Bank Details

Operating from the heart of the City of London since 1983, firstly as the London branch of Union Bank of Nigeria (UBN), and since October 2004 as an independently incorporated UK bank, Union Bank UK plc (UBUK), and subsidiary of UBN. In May 2022, following the sale of the UBN, the shareholding in FBUK was purchased by a group of investors (the previous shareholders of UBN) and we continued to operate as an independent, regulated, UK bank. In July 2023 Fidelity Bank PLC, Nigeria, acquired 100% of the shares of UBUK and the bank was rebranded to FidBank UK as the UK subsidiary of Fidelity Bank PLC. FidBank are authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority and subscribe to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Security & Deposit Protection

The FSCS is the United Kingdom’s statutory deposit guarantee scheme. If an FSCS-protected bank fails or is unable to meet its financial obligations, the FSCS can provide compensation for eligible customer deposits up to a limit of £120,000 per person, per bank. The FSCS’ £120,000 protection limit applies to all deposits held with a bank (including current and savings accounts), as well as any deposits held with intermediaries of the same bank (for example, where a bank operates multiple banks under different trading names). Read our dedicated FAQ page to learn more about the FSCS.
