Interest on cash balance

Hi all,
I have some concerns around the following section;

ā€œIn the unlikely event Trading 212 or the bank holding your client funds were to go into liquidation, and if there was a failure to safeguard your assets, the value of your funds and assets held with Trading 212 are still protected by the applicable compensation scheme.ā€

Which banks will you be depositing the uninvested money in?

As an example let’s assume that I have currently 85,000 in an account with ā€œBank Aā€.
I also have £10,000 of uninvested money in my T212 ISA account.
T212 decides to deposit the Ā£10,000 of uninvested money in my ISA account with ā€œBank Aā€ but I don’t know that T212 has deposited my Ā£10,000 with ā€œBank Aā€.
Therefore ā€œBank Aā€ now holds a total of Ā£95,000 of my money, which is Ā£10,000 over the Ā£85,000 protection that FSCS provides.
A week later ā€œBank Aā€ collapses. Am I protected for the full Ā£95,000 or just upto Ā£85,000?

If i’m covered only up to the Ā£85,000 limit then I will be losing out on Ā£10,000. Therefore it’s important for T212 to inform the customers which banks the uninvested money has been deposited in.

I’d appreciate a reply to the above, thanks
