Savers with cash frozen in accounts with the UK branch of Icesave will get back their savings through a fast-track refund scheme. Payments are expected to begin in the first two weeks of November. Although the plan has yet to be finalised, it is expected that payments will be made electronically into other accounts. This will happen in stages and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) will write to all ‘retail depositors’ to explain how the process will work.
