The Bank has to work out the maximum amount you can get from the depositors' compensation scheme. They do this in a way that is decided by the regulations, if there are any. If there are no regulations, the Bank decides how to calculate the maximum amount in a way that they think is right.

The regulations can tell the Bank which methods to use or not use when calculating the maximum amount. They can also say which principles to apply, or how to work out certain values. The regulations might say the Bank has to consider some things, or ignore others, when making their calculation.

The Bank might also have to make some assumptions when working out the maximum amount, as allowed by the regulations. The rules about how the Bank calculates the maximum amount do not change just because the regulations say what the Bank can or cannot do.
