As the home of deposit protection, we’ve got it covered
We’re here to make protecting your deposits as simple as possible.
A choice of schemes
We provide two types of deposit protection for tenancies in England and Wales:
Custodial, a free service where we hold the deposit for the duration of the tenancy
Insured, where you hold the deposit and pay us a fee to protect it.
If you're unsure which is better for your needs, find out more about our schemes.
