At the time of the collapse of Landsbanki and its UK branch, Icesave, customer deposits amounted to £4.5bn. Depositors were fully compensated at the time of the collapse by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and the Government. In return, the FSCS became a priority creditor in the Landsbanki estate, which is currently being wound down.
