Our dedicated and pooled models only apply to safeguarding accounts and client money accounts.
Pooled safeguarding or client money accounts are used to hold money on behalf of multiple customers, also known as members of the pool. You are responsible for making sure membership of the pooled account is accurate and up-to-date.
A client money account is for managing your customers' funds. Only firms regulated under CASS (the FCA's Client Assets Sourcebook) can open client money accounts. You can choose to open a dedicated account for each of your customers, or a pooled account for holding funds from multiple customers. Learn more about bank accounts.
