Dina Devalia, Managing Director at Quantuma, said: “Strathkelvin Credit Union members don’t need to worry as all of their money is safe – 100% of members’ deposits will be returned by the FSCS. You don’t need to do anything to get your money back – anyone with a deposit with the credit union should look out for a cheque in the post from the FSCS in the next few days. We are working with the FSCS to ensure that all members receive their money back as soon as possible. We’ll also be on hand by email or phone to assist members with any queries that they may have on issues such as loan repayments or setting up new accounts for benefits payments.”
