We are an authorized payment institution regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. The manner in which we hold customer deposits is not subject to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
Instead, we are required to protect customers' funds by what is known as "Safeguarding", which refers to the manner in which customers' funds are moved into a segregated account known as a "Safeguarding Account". A Safeguarding Account exists to ensure that customers' funds are kept separate from a payment institution's own assets and funds, and are always readily available to return to customers, even if a payment institution becomes insolvent.
Our Safeguarding Account is held at Nano Banc, which provides regular confirmation of our Safeguarding arrangements.
Funds sent to a Payment Account by an Account Holder or their Authorized Agent must be accompanied by payment instructions that direct the payment of such funds to occur within thirty (30) days from the date of Dek-Co (UK) Ltd.’s receipt of such funds. In the event that such payment instructions are not provided to Dek-Co (UK) Ltd. in a manner that would result in Dek-Co (UK) Ltd. executing a payment of such funds within thirty (30) days from the date of its receipt of such fun funds, those funds held in the Payment Account will be returned to such Payment Account Holder’s designated Bank Account on file within 5 Business days after the expiration of such 30-day period. If there is no designated active Bank Account on file, then such funds will be returned to the originator that sent such funds.
