The FSCS is the UK’s statutory compensation scheme that protects customers of regulated financial services firms.
A declaration of default means the FSCS is satisfied a firm is unable to pay claims for compensation made against it.
This paves the way for customers of that firm to make a claim for compensation.
Since it began in 2001, FSCS has helped more than four and a half million people, paying out more than £26bn ($37bn, €30bn) in compensation.
In April, the FSCS declared 11 firms in default, while in February it declared 24 firms.
